EverGen raises $17 million for Canadian RNG projects

EverGen, Canada’s renewable natural gas (RNG) infrastructure platform, announces that it has completed raising an additional $17 million to address a significant gap in renewable infrastructure across Canada, specifically focused on acquiring and building RNG  and sustainable waste to energy projects. EverGen has raised $8 million in equity capital (via a special warrants offering) and secured a senior debt facility of $9 million to pursue this strategy. This follows EverGen’s previous financing and major project acquisitions of Sea to Sky Soils in Pemberton, BC and Net Zero Waste Abbotsford Inc. that were completed in December 2020.

“There is a dire need for a Canadian-based platform focused on building, owning and operating renewable natural gas infrastructure to support the clean energy goals and demand of FortisBC and other utilities across Canada,” explains EverGen Co-Founder and CEO Chase Edgelow. “Starting in BC, but with plans for further expansion, EverGen has the leadership and capability to ‘infra-tize’ Canada’s fragmented renewable natural gas industry, meaning we apply a disciplined and practical approach to developing the necessary infrastructure to ensure long term sustainable returns for our investors, our communities and our stakeholders.”
