Renewable energy including Biogas can supply electricity to clean heating sources like heat pumps. We're powering the transition! #RenewableEnergy #Biogas #CleanEnergy #HeatPumps #SustainableLiving #GreenEnergy #EcoFriendly #ClimateAction #SustainableHeating #CleanTech
Homes & buildings generate over 50% of Toronto’s greenhouse gas emissions.
When planning home upgrades, help reduce emissions and consider low carbon options like a heat pump.
They’re cleaner and more energy efficient than traditional heating systems.

Happy World Biofuels Day! As the voice of the industry in Canada, it is the CBA’s mission to increase integration and adoption of biogas & RNG. There are currently 300 biogas & RNG projects in Canada which are:
✔ Reducing greenhouse gas emissions,
✔ Processing waste,
✔ Producing renewable energy, and
✔ Creating nutrient-rich fertilizer.
However, biogas is far from reaching its full potential. According to our 2023 Market Report, Canada is currently only utilizing approximately 14% of its easily-available biogas energy potential. As we work towards a cleaner future, we look forward to the development of more biogas & RNG projects!
#Biogs #RNG #CleanFuels
There are still spots available for tours of the biogas plant which start tomorrow and run every weekend all summer. Check our webpage for booking zooshare.ca/visit-us
