design period
Page 3 – December 5, 2017
Principles
• Incremental to current measures
• Broad coverage:
– Fuels used in transportation, industry and buildings
– Liquid, gaseous and solid fuels
• Based on:
– Reducing carbon intensity
– Lifecycle approach
• Drive innovation, clean technology, lower carbon and alternative fuels
• Market-based approach

Page 4 – December 5, 2017
CFS Regulatory Framework
• Scope – liquid, gaseous and solid fuels combusted for purpose of creating energy
• Regulated party - fuel supplier (producer, importer, distributor)
• Carbon Intensity (CI) = carbon emitted relative to amount of energy in fuel consumed (e.g. grams of CO2 per
megajoule)
– baseline levels and targets.
– CI calculated using lifecycle approach: cradle to grave
– CI targets more stringent over time
• Compliance – variety of pathways/mechanisms to provide flexibility.
• Review and Update – periodically
• Timing – coming into force date to be determined

City of Toronto, Solid Waste Management Services
Renewable Natural Gas from Biogas/Landfill Gas
Carlyle Khan, Director, Infra. Dev & Asset Mgmt.
The Power of Organic Waste: Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) for Ontario,
December 4, 2017
Solid Waste Management ServicesWho We Are
Mission Statement:
To provide innovative waste management
services to residents, businesses and visitors
within the City of Toronto in a safe, efficient,
effective and courteous manner, creating
environmental sustainability, promoting
diversion and maintaining a clean city.
Vision:
To be an international leader in the operation
of an innovative and sustainable solid waste
management utility.
Solid Waste Management ServicesSolid Waste Management Services
Solid Waste Management ServicesBiogas to Landfill Gas Projects
• Landfill Gas
• Very large quantities of gas
• Lower CH4 content
• Higher amounts of impurities
• Gas amounts decline over time
• Potential odour issues
• Biogas from Anaerobic Digestion
• Lower quantities of gas
• Higher CH4 content
• Lower amounts of some impurities
• Gas flowrates steady over time
• Gas flows ongoing during operation
Solid Waste Management ServicesFour Priority Sites for Biogas and Landfill Gas
5.4M m3 per 5.3M m3 per
year year

Solid Waste Management ServicesPotential for a Closed Loop Approach
Solid Waste Management ServicesA Green Fuel Opportunity - RNG
• The Opportunity
• Lowering Costs and GHG emissions with Compressed Natural Gas/Renewable Natural Gas
• CNG Proposition
• Economic, Environmental and Social Benefits
• Path to Net Neutral Emissions
• Greening the Solid Waste fleet with RNG
Solid Waste Management ServicesFlexible Commodity
• RNG can be used to:
• Offset diesel fuel
Environmental
• Generate renewable electricity
Ex: GHG emissions reductions
• Offset traditional natural gas from diesel offset vs NG offset
• Be sold through the United States Renewable
Fuel Standards Program
• Provides excellent flexibility to RNG Project
municipalities to maximize economic,
environmental, and social factors Triple Bottom Line
Assessment
• All end-use options will be assessed using a
triple bottom line framework to select the Economic
most appropriate mix Social
Ex: RIN revenue vs fuel sales
vs offset costs; future Cap & Ex: Less noisy vehicles vs odour
Trade potential; high entry risk; potential for improved
cost for NG vehicles health outcomes
Solid Waste Management ServicesImmediate Opportunity to Lower Cost and GHG Emissions
• Natural Gas Vehicles is an economical and
environmentally-friendly alternative to diesel
vehicles
• CNG/RNG can fuel many different vehicle types
including heavy-duty trucks, buses and streetcars,
transportation trucks, trains, freight ships and
even garbage trucks.
• Converting from diesel to CNG means cleaner air.
Solid Waste Management ServicesRNG Transportation Options
• There are three (3) main methods for RNG delivery
• Different sites may require different strategies, or a combination of strategies
Injection into
Virtual pipeline Onsite utilization
natural gas grid
Solid Waste Management ServicesFueling Station Requirements
• The Division is examining requirements for
future NG fueling stations
• Constructed two (2) fill stations at our
Bermondsey and Ellesmere Collection Yards,
with the third under design, Ingram Collection
Yard.
• Key considerations include:
• Capital cost requirements
• Fast fill vs slow fill fueling
• Onsite storage
• Operating engineer requirements
Solid Waste Management ServicesCNG/RNG Projects
• Studying opportunities to leverage our assets to
generate renewable energy
• Compressed (CNG)/Renewable Natural Gas
(RNG) emerged as the priority
• Division has decided to pursue Natural Gas (NG)
vehicles based on a triple-bottom line approach
• The focus is now to leverage the potential to
generate RNG from the Division’s anaerobic
digestion (AD) facilities and landfills
• Next step: identifying the best end-use for our
RNG output to generate financial,
environmental, and social benefits
Solid Waste Management ServicesCollaboration with Enbridge Gas Distribution
• Solid Waste Management Services has
benefited from a ongoing collaboration with
Enbridge Gas Distribution on:
• Design and construction of CNG fill stations and
maintenance facilities
• Planning and options assessment for RNG
distribution infrastructure
• Brokerage for RNG end uses
• Policy development
Solid Waste Management ServicesKey Points and Future Directions
• Solid Waste Management Services has access to a
renewable source of energy
• Upgrading biogas and landfill gas to pipeline-quality
renewable natural gas can produce significant
environmental, social and economic benefits
• Renewable natural gas projects could lead to an
alternative source of revenue for the Division and
provide benefits to the City of Toronto
• Next step: Successfully deliver the Biogas to RNG
Project at Dufferin OPF
Solid Waste Management ServicesBut wait, there’s one more slide …
Lessons leaned along the way …
• Establish a RNG market/demand in Ontario, with supporting policies and frameworks
• Develop a guidance manual for RNG projects, including a tool to estimate how much fuel could be
generated per year, with potential revenue, payback period, etc.
• Encourage municipalities to share organic waste processing capacity
• Ensure municipalities and partners are fully aware and have access to Provincial and Federal funding
program in a clear manner
• Streamline the approval projects for RNG projects, while integrating application data in a manner to
support ECA/Noise/Air, etc. applications
• Develop policies and frameworks to increase the diversion requirements of organic material, specifically
food and kitchen waste
• Allocate Cap & Trade Program (C&TP) funds towards Biogas to RNG projects
• Include heavy carbon emitters in the future C&TP
• Developed Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS)/Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) program in
Ontario/Canada
• Establish a risk profile for RNG Projects that will support the availability of private sector funding for
such projects.

December 4, 2017Energir is about imagining energy differently. • While we continue to proudly distribute natural gas, for the past several years we’ve been working to diversify our energy sources. • Renewable natural gas, solar energy, wind power, and even natural gas for transportation—we’ve come a long way. • Today, we’re taking a new identity that better reflects who we are.

AVERTISSEMENT DE SMOG DANS LA VALLÉE DU SAINT-LAURENT
Un avertissement de smog pour la vallée du Saint-Laurent, de la frontière ontarienne jusqu’à la région de
Montmagny, a été émis par Environnement Canada, lundi.
En plus des régions de Montréal et de Québec, la Mauricie, la Beauce, la Montérégie, Lanaudière et le Centre-
du-Québec sont visés par cette alerte.
La qualité de l’air dans ces régions devait être mauvaise en raison des concentrations élevées de particules
fines.
«Le smog affecte surtout les enfants asthmatiques et les personnes atteintes de maladies respiratoires ou
cardiaques. Il leur est donc recommandé d'éviter les activités physiques intenses à l'extérieur jusqu'à la levée
de l'avertissement de smog», a mentionné Environnement Canada dans son avertissement.
Le ministère fédéral précise que «le chauffage au bois est la principale source de particules fines qui contribue
au smog l'hiver», devant l'activité industrielle et le transport.
