VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 05, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EverGen Infrastructure Corp. ("EverGen" or the "Company") (TSXV: EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF) announces a significant milestone in Renewable Natural Gas ("RNG") production at the newly completed expansion of the Fraser Valley Biogas facility. Following extensive facility enhancements, EverGen is proud to announce the achievement of new single-day and monthly production records, supporting the growing demand for RNG in the province.
The successful and seamless integration of new feedstock processing and biogas upgrading systems to Fraser Valley Biogas’ original design has highlighted the efficiency and effectiveness of these upgrades. This achievement is underscored by the following production records, which were achieved prior to the commissioning and ramp up of a third digestor in early-March:
Daily Production Record: 450 GJs Monthly Production Record: 9,716 GJs
"The successful ramp-up and record-breaking gas production at our Fraser Valley Biogas facility highlights our operations team’s ability to deliver on core projects," said EverGen CEO, Mischa Zajtmann. "Our efforts have translated into tangible results as we expect the facility to exceed its name plate capacity of 160,000 GJs per year once fully ramped up."
Along with ongoing optimization efforts and the completed installation of the third digester, EverGen remains committed to its production goals and meeting the increasing demands for RNG and low carbon infrastructure in Canada.
