Last Friday, Convertus Group, together with York Region (The Regional Municipality of York) celebrated the groundbreaking of the Convertus York Biofuel Facility in East Gwillimbury. This state-of-the-art facility is a significant step in our commitment to closing the loop for a better future by transforming organic waste into renewable energy. The Convertus York facility will be the first large-scale biofuel facility in Ontario to integrate liquid CO2 capture technology. It is designed to generate between 250,000 and 350,000 GJ of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) each year, enough to power approximately 5,000 homes. In addition, it will produce around 155,000 tonnes of fertilizer, converting curbside green bin waste into nutrient-rich fertilizer for local agriculture.
Thank you very much to everyone who attended and celebrated this milestone with us, including our partners, GHD, and Bird Construction! We are thrilled to embark on this journey toward a more sustainable future!
