A Quebec town known for producing food is now working to convert organic food
waste into natural gas on a large scale.
Ste-Hyacinthe, Que., located about 60 kilometres northeast of Montreal, has
set a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 15,000 tonnes a year through
its conversion of waste to gas.
In order to produce the gas, organic waste from local cheese and yogurt
factories is collected, and the gas is extracted from the waste. The biogas is
used to fuel up a fleet of city cars and heat city buildings, while the leftover
organic waste is composted and used to beautify the city's parks and
gardens.
