About
An energy recovery project developed in Neuville, Quebec
Presentation
The GNR Neuville project is located in Neuville, Quebec, at the site of the engineered landfill operated by Récolo, the Portneuf Regional Waste Management Board. It aims to produce renewable natural gas (RNG) from biogas generated by buried organic matter.
From biogas to RNG
The decomposition of organic matter buried in the landfill generates biogas, composed mainly of methane and carbon dioxide (CO2). Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, is currently captured and then destroyed by combustion in a flare.
The GNR Neuville project aims to capture and purify this biogas in order to transform it into RNG that can be injected into the Énergir network.
Project Characteristics
Annual energy production: 90,000 GJ
Target commissioning date: Autumn 2027
Annual gas production: 2,400,000 m³
Minimum project duration: 20 years
GHG emissions avoided: 4,000 t CO2eq/year
Delivery: RNG transport to the Énergir hub in Saint-Flavien
What distinguishes the project
-
GNR Neuville is supported by experienced partners and leverages technologies and expertise developed in Quebec. The project was designed to address the site's specific characteristics through a rigorous and tailored approach.
-
The innovative process of liquefying RNG facilitates its transport by tanker truck and thus opens the door to the development of similar projects located far from the gas network.
-
The project also stands out for its positive impact on the community, particularly through the reduction of odours and the use of equipment designed to limit noise impacts.
