A New Emerald Energy from Waste
At Emerald, we’re embarking on an exciting transformation that enhances our operational efficiency and emphasizes our unwavering commitment to sustainable energy solutions and our community.
Our redevelopment focuses on creating innovative and sustainable energy solutions while prioritizing environmental care. We are utilizing meticulous planning and a three-phase approach to integrate the latest technology, thereby increasing our processing capacity and energy recovery.
However, our vision extends beyond just an expansion. By using resource recovery to convert non-hazardous waste into energy, we hope to support our local community. This is the driving factor in our entire redevelopment project.
A key part of our work is following the Environmental Assessment Act (EAA). We will thoroughly assess the positive and negative environmental implications of our proposal. Additionally, we previously held four open houses to consult stakeholders, which highlights our transparent approach and engagement with the community. If you missed the open houses, visit our virtual open house for more information.
Emissions management is a key focus area for us. With real-time monitoring programs and annual stack sampling, we have met or exceeded provincial standards for over thirty years. As we transition to a new facility, our engineers have projected emissions based on advanced technologies, ensuring compliance with air quality standards and prioritizing the health and well-being of our community.
Reducing Emissions Through Local Waste-to-Energy Solutions
To help clear up misunderstandings about energy recovery, we would like to highlight its benefits. Turning waste into energy locally helps reduce landfill emissions and decrease our reliance on non-renewable fuels. Our commitment to following the waste management hierarchy ensures we make the best use of resources and limit our environmental impact.
We are committed to sustainable practices by developing innovative energy solutions, including district heating and hydrogen production. These solutions enable us to offer energy solutions tailored to evolving needs, while also reducing our carbon footprint.
Our phased approach to redevelopment ensures seamless integration with existing waste management programs. This fosters harmony and cooperation for the benefit of our local communities. Our goal is to create a circular economy that uses resources efficiently and responsibly.
At Emerald, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We focus on innovative redevelopment and environmental protection to build a greener and more prosperous future for all. Join us on our journey towards sustainability, where each step takes us closer to a brighter tomorrow.
