Advanced Waste-to-Energy Infrastructure | Clean Energy | Organic Fertilizer Production

Biogas Facility Overview

This modern biogas facility in Chilliwack, British Columbia, represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational and scalable clean energy asset. Through anaerobic digestion, the plant processes over 80,000 tonnes of organic material annually — including agricultural waste and a wide variety of food waste — to generate renewable natural gas (RNG), dry organic fertilizer pellets, and clean water. The facility supports environmental targets, diverts waste from landfills, contributes to regional RNG supply, and generates multiple revenue streams from energy, tipping fees, and fertilizer sales.

Renewable Energy & Organic Waste Processing

The facility produces approximately 208,000 GJ of pipeline-quality RNG annually, which is integrated into the FortisBC gas grid. Its feedstock consists of 42,000 tonnes of dairy and poultry manure, plus 40,000 tonnes of food waste from processors, retailers, and municipal sources. The operation generates 60,000 tonnes of clean water annually, aiding in aquifer protection and local reuse, while also producing over 4,500 tonnes per year of dry organic pellets enriched with N-P-K and micronutrients.

Environmental Impact

From an environmental perspective, the facility achieves net-zero greenhouse gas impact by capturing methane and producing low-carbon energy. It effectively reduces offensive odours by stabilizing raw manure and food waste, while keeping significant volumes of organic material out of landfills. The organic fertilizer pellets produced contribute to soil regeneration by improving structure, moisture retention, and erosion control.

Revenue Streams

The facility generates revenue through multiple streams. Long-term RNG sales agreements provide stable, utility-backed income. Additional revenue comes from tipping fees, accepting organic materials from farms, restaurants, food processors, and municipalities. The facility also produces high-quality, nutrient-rich pellets that serve as an alternative to chemical fertilizers, suitable for both organic and conventional agriculture.

Strategic Advantages

Several strategic advantages position this facility for long-term success. Its infrastructure and systems are designed for potential expansion, while its location in the heart of BC’s agricultural belt ensures long-term access to consistent organic inputs. The operation aligns with sustainability policies, making it eligible for various grants, incentives, and carbon credits under federal/provincial clean energy mandates. The facility employs proven technology with demonstrated performance and output consistency.
