Enbridge, which bought a 10 per cent stake in Divert, is one traditional fossil fuel company that has been investing in RNG as concerns about climate change intensify.
Canadian pipeline giant Enbridge Inc. and U.S.-based food waste management company Divert Inc. have broken ground on their first joint project to be built under the terms of a US$1 billion infrastructure agreement announced earlier this year.
The two companies are investing approximately US$100 million in the first of what is expected to be several projects across the U.S. that will convert food waste into non-fossil fuel, renewable energy. The first facility, for which a groundbreaking ceremony was held Thursday afternoon, will be built in Longview, Washington and will be the first of its kind in the state. It will accept wasted food from retail food customers, agricultural food producers, industrial food manufacturers, restaurants and others and convert it into renewable natural gas, or RNG.
“When we started looking at who we wanted to partner with in this space, Divert really stood out because they have kind of mastered … diverting wasted food,” said Caitlin Tessin, vice-president of strategy and market innovation for Enbridge.“The fact that it doesn’t just go into a landfill really attracted us to the Divert partnership because it’s not just about decarbonized gas _ there’s a really strong social and community benefit to what they’re doing,” Tessin added.
According to the World Biogas Association, organic waste from food production, food waste, farming, landfill and wastewater treatment are responsible for about 25 per cent of human-caused global emissions of methane, a harmful greenhouse gas.
