Petawawa Net Zero Project

The REA project (Project) is located at the Town of Petawawa’s Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) and will transform the WPCP into a resource recovery facility by upgrading the two of four digesters to co-digest wastewater sludge and liquid external organics by diverting waste from landfill and boost biogas production for use as electricity, making the plant energy neutral or positive, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The project will involve the generation and utilization of biogas on site using a combined heat and power (CHP) unit.

The Project has previously undergone stakeholder outreach under the name of “Petawawa Co-digestion and Energy Generation Feasibility Study” in 2019.  The project received a grant of $2.7 Million from the Low Carbon Economy Challenge Fund in November 2019 under the name “Petawawa Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Energy Recovery and Waste Diversion Net Zero Project”.

Project Location:

The Project is situated within the Petawawa Water Pollution Control Plant, located at 560 Abbie Lane, Petawawa, County of Renfrew, K8H 2E6 (Site). The Site has an area of 75.3 acres and is registered as Range Lake Lot 17 RP, Petawawa, and County of Renfrew; roll number 477907902006900.
