Earlier this year, Irving Oil selected Anaergia to supply carbon-negative renewable natural gas (RNG) for its operations including the Saint John refinery.

Anaergia will produce the RNG at its Rhode Island Bioenergy Facility, which is designed to prevent the release of more than 40,000 metric tonnes per year of carbon dioxide-equivalent greenhouse gas emissions.

Commenting on the partnership, Irving Oil president Ian Whitcomb said: “We are making strides in achieving our 2030 goal of a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions as we shift to lower-carbon energies.”
