Like California, it seems that Canada is looking to invest in biogas as an alternative source of natural gas for the future. This biogas is collected from a sewage plant as a byproduct of human waste, and is then distributed to customers. According to the Vancouver Sun, "it will be the first time in B.C. that energy from human waste is captured and used in this fashion, and it's fairly novel on a global scale as well -- although processes using gas from landfills and agricultural waste are well established." For those of us who are always looking to cut costs on bills and save some money, it's nice to see that all around the world and here in North America, people are investing in alternative sources of energy to power our homes.
