Biogas project removed website after anti-greenwashing law came into effect

A spokesperson for Rimrock Renewables said the company is not providing any interviews or comment due to the current regulatory state of the project.

The company behind a contentious biogas project near High River removed its website after Canada’s anti-greenwashing rules came into effect.

Rimrock Renewables, in partnership with Tidewater Renewables Ltd. and Korova Feeders Ltd., is proposing the development of a biodigester facility that would use manure and other waste from a 35,000 head of cattle feedlot in Foothills County to produce natural gas, a process the company has said comes with major environmental and economic benefits. But since new truth-in-advertising amendments to the Competition Act in Bill C-59 became law on June 20, requiring businesses provide evidence to support environmental claims, the Rimrock Renewables website has been offline.
