Biogas facility Grow the Energy Circle (GrowTEC) has landed up to $2 million from a Canadian regulatory agency to expand and increase production of renewable natural gas (RNG) at the facility, EverGen Infrastructure Corp. said Oct. 15.

The funding awarded by the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) will go toward Phase 2 of the Lethbridge, Alberta-facility’s anaerobic digester expansion project. By installing preprocessing and depackaging equipment to address existing bottlenecks, EverGen said it aims to boost the facility’s production capacity to up to 120,000 gigajoules annually. Plans also include enhancing the facility’s RNG upgrading system.

“We appreciate the support from AAFC, which will allow us to significantly increase our RNG production and improve the efficiency of our GrowTEC operations,” said Mischa Zajtmann, CEO of EverGen Infrastructure. “By addressing key bottlenecks and expanding our feedstock capabilities, we are now positioned and well-equipped to replicate the success of our Fraser Valley Biogas expansion project.”
