Biogas

Welcome to the OMAFRA biogas website. Through the generation of biogas, a process where organic materials break down in an oxygen-free environment, Ontario's agricultural sector produces clean, renewable energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This page provides links to information about various biogas topics such as biogas safety, funding and training.
