EverGen signs 20-year RNG supply pact with FortisBC Energy in Canada

Vancouver-based renewable gas (RNG) platform EverGen Infrastructure Corp., through its subsidiary Fraser Valley Biogas (FVB), has signed a 20-year RNG agreement with FortisBC Energy, the company announced on June 24. Under the terms of the agreement, FortisBC will purchase up to 160,000 GJ/year of RNG from FVB for injection into its natural gas system.

In addition to this supply agreement, EverGen has secured a long-term feedstock supply agreement with a waste disposal consolidator in the region. This secured feedstock represents more than 50% of the off-farm waste required to achieve nameplate capacity for the FVB project.

"Securing this long-term energy-rich waste, along with our previously secured feedstock streams, ensures input security for the FVB project," said EverGen CEO Mischa Zajtmann. "With both offtake and feedstock agreements in place on a long-term basis, EverGen has significantly de-risked the FVB project."

FVB is the original RNG project in Western Canada and the first project to inject RNG into FortisBC’s network, which is part of the North American natural gas infrastructure network. The facility combines anaerobic digestion and biogas upgrading to produce RNG, including converting agricultural waste from local dairy farms. FVB also produces an organic liquid fertiliser that is used by surrounding farms to displace synthetic fertilisers.

Headquartered on the west coast of Canada, EverGen is an independent renewable energy producer which acquires, develops, builds, owns, and operates a portfolio of RNG, waste-to-energy, and related infrastructure projects.

Earlier this year, EverGen achieved daily and monthly RNG production records at its recently-expanded Fraser Valley Biogas facility.
