Chatham-Kent Council approved a $160 million Waste-to-Energy project with Greenfield Global, aimed at converting organic waste into Renewable Natural Gas. The facility will be located on Bloomfield Road, and approximately $60 million in funding has been secured from various government sources.

The municipality and Greenfield Global will invest $40 million in equity, with the remaining funds needed to be financed through debt. Municipal staff will establish a Municipal Services Corporation, with operations expected to focus on waste from the Greenfield facility. A final engineered estimate will be presented before the April 27 vote.
