by Betsy Lillian (NGT News) In partnership with Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc., the City of Toronto, Ontario, is making moves to operate a facility that will turn biogas into renewable natural gas (RNG) to fuel the city’s garbage trucks.

Later this year, the partners will begin installing equipment at the Dufferin Solid Waste Management Facility, allowing them to transform raw biogas produced from processing Toronto’s Green Bin organics into RNG, which will then be injected into the natural gas grid. Once in the grid, the city will be able to use the RNG to fuel waste collection trucks.

…

According to the city, current estimates suggest that the Dufferin RNG facility will produce approximately 5.3 million cubic meters of RNG per year – enough to power 132 heavy-duty garbage trucks or about 90% of Toronto’s solid waste collection fleet. This is the first of four waste-to-RNG production opportunities identified by the city. READ MORE
