Skyline Clean Energy Fund Announces Expansion to Lethbridge Biogas Facility

[Guelph, Ontario – April 24, 2023] 

Skyline Clean Energy Fund (SCEF), a Guelph, Ontario-based equity growth fund investing in clean energy assets, has announced a $3+ million expansion to its anaerobic digestion facility in Lethbridge, Alberta.

SCEF is installing a 40,000 tonne per year de-packaging line which will enable the facility to efficiently process residential source separated organics (SSO), including leaf and yard waste, and packaged industrial, commercial & institutional (IC&I) waste. Once complete, the facility will be able to accept an additional 40,000 tonnes of packaged organic wastes/materials annually. This waste will be converted into renewable natural gas (RNG).

“This expansion will allow SCEF’s Lethbridge facility to provide an alternative processing service that offers savings in comparison to other disposal or treatment options in Western Canada,” said Rob Stein, President, Skyline Energy.

“Not only will it provide a meaningful alternative to landfills for waste disposal, but it will also provide the facility with a new source of revenue and create additional value for our unitholders.”

The de-packaging line is modeled after the one used at SCEF’s other biogas facility in Elmira, Ontario, which has been operating successfully for over 10 years. Commissioning of the de-packaging line is expected in Fall 2023, with completion slated for January 2024.

SCEF’s Lethbridge and Elmira biogas facilities have a cumulative capacity of 184,000 tonnes in annual Organic Waste Capacity1 and 224,000 GJ2 in expected RNG production per year, making SCEF one of Canada’s largest producers of biogas.3
