The Canadian province of New Brunswick has announced that greenhouse-gas emissions will be reduced by 45,000tns annually as the result of a new project being supported by the New Brunswick Climate Action Fund. The Department of Environment is providing Westmorland-Albert Solid Waste Corp. with CAN 2 million to undertake the CAN 2.5 million project of installing a landfill gas collection, recovery and utilization system at its facility, and producing electricity from the methane recovered. The CAN 34 million New Brunswick Climate Action Fund is used to support projects that are in keeping with the goals of the New Brunswick Climate Change Action Plan. The three-year fund is dedicated to public-sector, private-sector and not-for-profit initiatives that will result in reductions or avoidance of greenhouse-gas emissions and air pollution throughout the province. The province launched the five-year New Brunswick Climate Change Action Plan in June 2007. As a result of initiatives in the plan, greenhouse-gas emissions will be reduced in the province by 5.5 megatonnes annually in 2012. With the addition of federal initiatives, the plan will result in a reduction of New Brunswick’s greenhouse-gas emissions to 1990 levels in 2012. The achievement of these reductions will position New Brunswick to realize further reductions of 10% below 1990 levels by 2020.
