"Enbridge"

The City of Gatineau is moving forward with a project to capture biogas from the StaRRE facility and convert it into renewable natural gas (RNG) in partnership with Enbridge Gaz Québec. This project is expected to generate between $485,000 and $624,000 in annual revenue for the city while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Council mandated the administration to negotiate a partnership with Enbridge Gaz Québec to convert biogas produced at the StaRRE facility into renewable natural gas, aiming to maximize financial and environmental benefits for the City.

Councillor Edmond Leclerc is proposing that the City of Gatineau formally request a public review by the BAPE regarding Enbridge's proposed hydrogen pipeline project, citing environmental and public interest concerns.

Council officially requested that the Quebec government subject the proposed Enbridge hydrogen pipeline project to a full environmental assessment, including public hearings by the BAPE. This follows concerns from residents in the Buckingham and Masson-Angers sectors regarding safety and environmental impact.

Councillor Edmond Leclerc has filed a notice of motion to request that the provincial environmental review board, the Bureau d’audiences publiques sur l’environnement (BAPE), hold public consultations regarding the proposed Enbridge hydrogen pipeline project in Gatineau. This notice serves as a formal precursor to a resolution that will be officially tabled and debated at the upcoming council meeting on August 26, 2025. This is a significant step for residents concerned about the environmental and safety impacts of the proposed pipeline infrastructure.
