GNR Québec Capital Applauds Government Involvement in the Development of Renewable Natural Gas Projects Français
$213 million announced for the development of renewable natural gas in the Quebec government's Green Economy Plan 2030
MONTREAL, Nov. 16, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - GNR Québec Capital L.P. ("GNR Québec Capital"), an investment fund dedicated to increasing the conversion of waste into renewable natural gas (RNG) in the province of Quebec, would like to congratulate the government on the unveiling of its new green economy plan, particularly for its commitment to the development of renewable natural gas production and distribution in Quebec.
An ambitious target for 2030
The plan sets a minimum standard of 10% renewable natural gas by 2030. This target is an important signal to the market, particularly investors, as it illustrates the existence of a local market for projects and availability in distribution infrastructures.
A major investment for project development
The $213 million announced will be allocated to a program to support the production of renewable natural gas, its injection or its connection to the natural gas distribution system. Therefore, projects will be able to count on significant financial support in addition to the efforts made by various partners, including GNR Québec Capital, to assist developers in their financing efforts.
These measures will make it possible to green Quebec's gas network and promote economic development in all regions of the province.
