Saanich Landfill Opens First-of-Its-Kind Renewable Natural Gas Facility

  • The Capital Regional District inaugurated Vancouver Island's first renewable natural gas plant at Hartland Landfill in 2025 after nearly three years of development.
  • This project arose to update aging RNG infrastructure and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the landfill serving over 460,000 people.
  • Waga Energy manages a $32-million project that transforms methane from organic waste into renewable natural gas, which is then delivered into FortisBC's gas network.
  • The plant is expected to produce 360,000 gigajoules annually, potentially cutting carbon emissions by nearly 475,000 tonnes over 25 years, equivalent to removing 105,000 homes from the grid.
  • This facility marks a major step toward a circular economy, enabling heating, fueling vehicles, and lowering emissions by treating waste as a resource.
