Kanadevia Inova, a pioneer in waste-to-energy and renewable gas solutions, has announced the official groundbreaking of the Louisville Township Renewable Gas Project, a pioneering large-scale anaerobic digestion facility located in Louisville Township, Minnesota, USA. The site will begin receiving organics for processing in 2027.
The Louisville Township project was born due to policy goals set by the State of Minnesota and local municipalities aiming to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, divert a portion of landfill waste, and produce renewable energy. Once operational, the Dem-Con HZI (DCHZI) BioEnergy facility will process up to 75,000 tons of organic materials per year and convert them into valuable renewable resources. The plant is expected to produce approximately 200,000 MMBtu of renewable natural gas (RNG) annually, while also generating around 8,000 tons of biochar each year. By diverting organic waste from disposal, the project will reduce landfill volumes and create enough to power 2,700 U.S. homes year-round on average, and significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions, playing a key role in supporting Minnesota’s circular economy.
