  • Renewable Natural Gas (Biomethane) Feedstock Potential in Canada

    Renewable Natural Gas (Biomethane) Feedstock Potential in Canada

    Renewable Natural Gas (Biomethane) Feedstock Potential in Canada 2020 Renewable Natural Gas (Biomethane) Feedstock Potential in Canada FINAL REPORT March 2020 Authors: Jamie Stephen, PhD M. Jean Blair, MSc Liz Brennan, MSc Susan Wood-Bohm, PhD TorchLight Bioresources Inc. ǀ Ottawa Tel: +1-613-532-7079 ǀ Fax: +1-613-249-7487 ǀ Email: [email protected] www.torchlightbioresources.com EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Renewable natural gas (RNG), also known as biomethane, is a near-pure methane gas that can be blended with natural gas and used for building space heat/hot water, industrial process heat, electricity generation, and transportation. Although much higher cost than current (2020) natural gas prices, RNG can be produced to be cost competitive with diesel fuel. Its ease of integration within the existing natural gas infrastructure and lower carbon intensity than natural gas and diesel has led to significant interest in fuel switching to RNG for greenhouse gas emission reductions. Previous studies have estimated Canada’s RNG potential using top-down analyses of national and provincial livestock manure, urban waste, industrial waste, landfill gas, and crop residue resources. While these analyses have helped to justify establishment of a small but growing RNG industry in Canada, Natural Resources Canada sought to better understand the RNG feedstock potential at a more localized geographic scale. TorchLight Bioresources was contracted by Natural Resources Canada to complete an analysis of RNG resources at a regional level of detail. As RNG resource data are not available country-wide at a municipality scale, the Canada Census Division was selected as the discreet geographic unit.

WaderStudy Group Bull. 97: 36-41. This studydescribes the speciescomposition, seasonal abundance, and migration chronology of shorebirdsat the GuerreroNegro Saltworks,an artificialhabitat located at the mid pointof the Baja CaliforniaPeninsula, Mexico. Censuses of shorebirds were carried out once a month from December 1995 to December 1996. We recorded26 shorebirdspecies. Taking the highest monthly record for eachspecies, the estimated minimum abun- dancein the studyperiod was 110,500birds. Red-necked Phalaropes Phalaropus lobatus and Western Sand- pipersCalidris mauri were the mostabundant. Seasonally abundance varied between winter (Decemberto Feb- mary, mean= 31,600 birds/month),spring migration (March to April, mean= 15,800birds/month), summer (May to June,mean = 1,900birds/month), and fall migration(July to November,mean = 44,300 birds/month). This patternis similar to that observedin La Paz Bay in the southof the peninsula,but contrastswith that ob- servedon the easterncoast of the Gulf of California,where greaternumbers of shorebirdsoccur during spring migration.Our resultsindicate that the GuerreroNegro saltworksis one of the mostimportant habitats for migratoryshorebirds along the Baja CaliforniaPeninsula, surpassed only by the Ojo de Liebreand San Ignacio coastallagoons.

What sets Canada apart is the See footnotes at end of text. relative importance of energy production to its economy, as well as the fact that producing energy accounts for a relatively large share of Canada’s own energy use (much of which is natural gas) and emissions.

Others say, why would anyone want to read a book about Murder, Lust, or Betrayal? So, let me propose an alternative. I have a story to tell you about adventure, love, and following the stardust of your dreams. Come with me onto a road of discovery and meet the wonderful people, land, and life of Baja California. I will share with you my story of swimming with whales and dolphins. Of finding the last Descanso – A Final Resting Place – at the very tip of lands end where Baja California tumbles into the Pacific. Accompany me as I embark on a journey of what I thought was a leisurely sail along the Baja coast only to almost lose my life to a seafaring madman. Share with me the terror and joy of having survived a short and furious storm in the Sea of Cortez that dashed other boats upon its shores. So, close your eyes and let your imagination illuminate a path behind my footsteps as I recount my tales of adventure in Baja California.

Printers to the State,l • • To the Governor and Executive Council of the State of J.Uaine : ON receiving the appointment of Agent to superintend and manage the sale and settlement of the Public Land, I was immediately called on to discharge the special duties of the office, required by the Resolve of the Legislature of the 24th of January last, relating to trespassers on the public lands. Much of my time and attention has since been engrossed in carrying into effect the intentions of the Legislature expressed in that, and other Resolves, on the same subject. By the annual reports of my predecessors it will be seen that trespasses have been for a series of years committed, on what, from the groundless claim of Great Britain, is called the disputed territory, by British subjects of the Province of New Brunswick and their lawless associates on this side the boundary; and that the timber has been taken by them to market in that Province, notwithstanding the warnings and efforts of the Land Agent of Maine, and of the British authorities.
