Thermo Design Engineering Ltd. (TDE) has partnered up with REN Energy International Corp (REN Energy) to create a first of its kind Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) plant in the British Columbia (BC) Kootenay region, Canada. The new project in Fruitvale, British Columbia will continue to build on Canada’s green energy economy and will create an immediate economic boost.
The REN Energy team has been working for the past several years on a method that creates Renewable Natural Gas from wood waste. REN Energy will build, own and operate the facility while energy company, FortisBC, will own and operate an interconnection facility on the site that will connect the project to the FortisBC natural gas transmission system.
The initial derivative of the REN Solution™ is a novel combination of three essential and demonstrated technologies: gasification, gas cleaning, and methanation; integrated in a process that has a uniquely high methane output using cutting edge technology, in a scale and scope never before used. There are no similar commercial technologies or processes in the world at the scale of REN's first project. The REN Solution™ is inherently clean and safe because the production system is fully enclosed and the process uses 100% of the solids, liquids and gases produced.
