Government of Canada invests in clean technologies by supporting Centre de traitement de la biomasse de la Montérégie


CED has granted $3M in financial assistance to Centre de traitement de la biomasse de la Montérégie. This contribution is part of nearly $40M in Government of Canada support for innovative projects in Quebec for a green, resilient economy.

SAINT-PIE, QC, Feb. 24, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ - Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED)

The Honourable Pascale St-Onge, Member of Parliament for Brome?Missisquoi, Minister of Sport and Minister responsible for CED, took the opportunity to announce this funding during her visit to the business today.

The Centre de traitement de la biomasse de la Montérégie (CTBM) specializes in managing and processing liquid and semi-liquid organic waste from the agri-food and commercial industries. The CTBM launched a large-scale project over five years ago to transform its business model by leveraging cutting-edge technologies. The business now recovers the waste it treats, transforming it into biogas, biofertilizers, and ammonium sulfate.

To support the CTBM in this project that is promising for the future, CED granted it a repayable contribution of $3M. Through this Government of Canada assistance, the CTBM has been able to add new recovery processes, increasing its on-site treatment capacity.

The CTBM's process now includes biomethanization facilities, two high-performance composters, a dryer, and all related equipment required for such processing. The business has thus become an organic waste treatment and recovery centre that is unique in Quebec, offering cutting-edge technologies adapted to market needs. The project has led to the creation of eight jobs.
