OPENING RECEPTION for the 28th Annual National Organics Recycling Conference
7pm in Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Pointe-Claire/Montréal
The municipality of St-Hyacinthe has turned to anaerobic digestion to address their area’s waste management programs for both sewage sludge and residential source-separated organics.
The plant that you will be visiting converts over 200,000 tonnes of these materials annually into digestate and a pipeline-quality biogas that is used to provide power for their municipal vehicles
and buildings. Excess biogas is sold to the regional utility, Gaz Métro.
Ville de St-Hyacinthe Anaerobic Digestion Plant
Productive organics recycling at your facility is supported by a variety of equipment. From initial selection to ongoing maintenance and repairs, this equipment and its care has direct impact on your success. Since 1996, Voghel has specialized in supplying heavy equipment for the
environment and construction fields. This part of our tour day will involve equipment demonstrations as well as insight and tips on the equipment operations.

Montreal --- It’s Your Turn !
Launched in 2008, the Marin Carbon Project is celebrating its 10-year anniversary in 2018. Over the course of a decade, the Project has discovered new information regarding the potential for rangeland soils to be a significant global climate change solution, pioneered ground-“making” science and worked with existing infrastructure to advance new policy frameworks and private-sector business partnerships that support soil carbon management. MCP partners played a pivotal role in helping establish the State of California’s Healthy Soils Program and have significantly advanced the practice of regenerative agriculture on California rangelands.
Carbon farming involves implementing practices that are known to improve the rate at which CO2 is removed from the atmosphere and converted to plant material and soil organic matter.
The Carbon Farm Planning process views carbon as the single most important element on which all other on-farm processes depend.
Within the carbon farming framework, compost application can be part of a smart, comprehensive plan to manage carbon at a whole farm level. From a climate perspective, compost is a triple win. It increases sequestration (the drawdown of atmospheric carbon into the soil), mitigates emissions from other sources (landfilling, burning or allowing organic materials to rot in ponds or pits which releases the powerful, short-lived greenhouse gases of methane, nitrous oxide and black carbon) and enhances the land’s resilience to extreme weather (flooding and drought).
