Surrey, BC develops Biofuel Facility to turn organic waste into renewable fuel and compost

Surrey, BC Biofuel Facility Organic Waste Fuel Compost

Complete

The Surrey Biofuel Facility shifts 115,000 tons of organic waste from the landfill into renewable fuel processing. Organic waste from homes and businesses is turned into renewable natural gas (RNG) and compost. Surrey's RNG-powered fleet vehicles and the downtown District Energy System benefit from steady biofuel production. Compost is used in public parks and sold to private sector buyers. An estimated reduction of 49,000 tons in emissions is achieved each year.

Project Succeeded

Surrey received a 2018 Environment Award from the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators for the Biofuel Facility.
