The Clock is Ticking on Ontario’s Landfills

By 2035, Ontario is expected to run out of space. With landfill capacity rapidly diminishing and waste generation continuing to rise, the countdown is real, and the consequences are pressing. Emerald Energy from Waste offers a proven, immediate solution.

By diverting non-recyclable waste from landfills and converting it into clean, renewable energy, Emerald not only extends the life of existing sites but also powers communities in a sustainable manner. As the landfill clock winds down, Emerald is powering the way forward.

What We Do

Recovering Energy From Waste

We safely convert solid, non-hazardous waste from municipal, industrial, commercial, and institutional sources into clean, renewable energy. Using a scientifically proven and monitored process, we recover thermal energy and transform it into steam and electricity, powering communities across Ontario while significantly reducing landfill use and greenhouse gas emissions.

Our process is fully permitted, closely monitored, and designed to fulfill the environmental expectations of both today and tomorrow.

Who We Are

A Proven Leader in Converting Waste to Energy

Since 1992, Emerald has safely processed over 3 million tonnes of non-hazardous waste, converting it into clean energy for the province of Ontario. We operate under some of the world’s most stringent environmental standards and proudly meet and often exceed Ontario’s compliance requirements.

Our commitment to safety and sustainability is backed by robust environmental monitoring and continuous investment in innovation. With significant technology upgrades and license renewals in 2000, 2013, and 2021, we remain at the forefront of waste to energy—trusted by municipalities, industries, and institutions throughout the province.

Whether you are a municipality examining alternatives to landfills or an organization striving to achieve its ESG goals, Emerald Energy from Waste offers a proven and transparent way forward.

For every metric tonne diverted from landfill, you save:

KW of electricity

Tonnes of Carbon Offset Credits

Cubic Metres of Landfill Space Saved

The Future of Waste Management

Emerald proposes redeveloping our site to install modern, more efficient technology. The redevelopment will occur in phases, increasing our processing capacity to 2,500 tons per day of municipal and commercial waste, and our energy recovery rate to 100 megawatts.
