Developers’ Guide to Biogas as a Vehicle Fuel

The Biogas Association will publish a new guide to help farmers expand their applications of biogas, thanks to contributions from the Agricultural Adaptation Council of Canada. The Farm to Fuel Developers’ Guide to Biogasas a Vehicle Fuel will be published this summer. The Vehicle Fuel guide will outline the economics and technology considerations for both small and large farm and agriculture industry vehicles. It will assist farmers in understanding the opportunity for their farm operations, and the path forward. The Biogas Association also thanks Dairy Farmers of Ontario for contributing funds to the project.

On-farm biogas system role profile

The Canadian Agricultural Human Resources Council (CAHRC) has developed new voluntary standards that inform producers of the knowledge and skills required to implement and operate on-farm biogas or biodiesel systems.  These documents can be used to evaluate if a producer is ready to take on these new systems; determine if they need to hire new staff, vendors and consultants; or improve process and training for producers who have already implemented the systems.
