In their own words

  • Navigating regulations respecting the reduction in the release of methane from the waste sector. Lobbying for energy recovery from the combustion of municipal solid waste (MSW) with carbon capture and storage (CCS) to be considered a circular economy solution to waste and a solution to reducing waste sector related methane emissions. Recommendation for alignment of application of compliance obligations under the proposed regulations with the Federal Output-Based Pricing System (“OBPS”) covered facility criteria. A covered facility under the Federal OBPS emits a quantity of GHGs equal to or greater than 50,000 tCO2e per annum.
  • Navigating financial support mechanisms through Innovation, Science, and Economic Development (ISED) and funding programs like the Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF). Seeking line of sight to potential grant funding mechanisms that can, if necessary, support the capital stack of Varme's Heartland Project to unlock private capital investment into the project.
  • General advocacy for waste to energy as a sustainable and economically maximizing waste management solution. Lobbying for a stronger policy framework around landfill methane reduction that focuses on waste diversion and incentives waste to energy solutions.
