[...] The goal of the symposium was to create a platform to share and understand various perspectives and experiences with energy expansion and green energy transformation across the province, and to identify opportunities for strategic local actions. [...] Opportunities to Manage Energy Production and Storage • Proponents of energy projects are exploring the expansion and development of new, smaller- scale renewable energy sources such as biomass generators, hydro-electric facilities, that can produce and store enough energy to power smaller communities. [...] • As energy production shifts to a more diverse range of sources, the role of energy storage to ensure that energy is available when needed is increasing. [...] Renewable natural gas such as that produced in biodigesters has the potential to generate clean energy and divert organic waste from landfills » For example, the Stanton Farms biodigester in Middlesex Centre annually diverts 60,000 tonnes of waste, eliminates 11,000 tonnes of GHG emissions, and generates enough renewable energy to heat approximately one third of the community of Ilderton.
