Post-industrial Waste Composting
The Enfoui-Bec project site is located is located near Trois-Rivière, Quebec. The project takes waste from pulp and paper companies and produces compost instead of putting it into landfills. The goal of the initiative is to is to reduce the direct environmental impact caused by the waste, such as methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas. Methane is a gas that is released with anaerobic biomass decay in a landfill environment. By composting, the methane production is reduced through aerobic treatment (or composting) of the biomass. The compost produced is use for local farm land fertilization.

Soderglen Wind Farm Project
The Soderglen Wind farm Project employs 47 state of the art wind turbines with a rating of 1.5 MW each producing a total capacity of 70.5 MW. The turbines power is collected through a medium voltage collection system to the main substation. At the main substation the voltage is increased to 138 kV for direct connection to the Alberta Interconnected Electrical System via a 12 kilometre interconnection line. Based on Alberta’s Quantification Protocol for Wind-Powered Electrical Generation Version 1, March 2008, this project will avoid approximately 0.65 tonnes CO2e GHG for every mega-watt hour of electricity produced, by replacing traditional coal-powered generation.
