The Project
Brenda Renewables Ltd. proposes to build and operate a Class A compost and anaerobic digester system that will eventually produce up to 170,000 GJ/year of renewable natural gas (RNG) from up to 150,000 tonnes/year of locally sourced organic waste. The RNG will be transported to an injection point on FortisBC's natural gas pipeline. The entire system is designed to ensure that there will be no offsite odour, noise or liquid discharge emissions.
The facility will benefit the entire Okanagan valley by providing a local, long term, reliable organic processing service. Surrounding communities will also be able to use the locally-generated RNG through FortisBC, which will offset their carbon footprint.
Brenda Renewables Ltd will be operate the facility in partnership with Glencore Canada Corp.

zero waste, just energyAnaerobic digestion produces biogas, which contains roughly 60% methane and 40% carbon dioxide. The gas will be upgraded to renewable natural gas and injected into the FortisBC pipeline.

reduce, reuse, reforestUseful products produced include “class A” compost that can be used to accelerate reclamation of the Brenda Mines site.
