EverGen Infrastructure Corp (TSX-V:EVGN) has told investors that its Sea to Sky Soils organic waste processing and composting facility processed approximately 160% of its budgeted tonnage in the second half of 2021.
In total, the Vancouver-based company said Sea to Sky Soils processed approximately 36,000 tonnes of organic waste in 2021. Having maintained permit compliance as expected, it said the facility is working with the Ministry of Environment to expand operational capacity in 2022.
“Sea to Sky Soils is an important part of EverGen’s RNG (renewable natural gas) infrastructure platform,” EverGen co-founder and CEO Chase Edgelow said in a statement.
“As a key facility positioned to contribute to our future growth in RNG production, we are excited about the organic waste processing achieved during 2021,” he added.

Sea to Sky Soils is one of three projects in EverGen’s portfolio and has been operating near Pemberton, British Columbia on Lil’wat Nation land since 2012.
EverGen said it partnered with local municipalities – including Metro Vancouver and the municipality of Pemberton – for the delivery of additional organic waste to the facility throughout 2021 and onward. Further to generating additional revenue, it said the facility serves as a source of valuable feedstock to support its existing and future RNG operations.
“With increased performance at Sea to Sky Soils we are setting the stage to expand our RNG production across the platform,” Edgelow concluded.
EverGen, Canada’s Renewable Natural Gas Infrastructure Platform, is combating climate change and helping communities contribute to a sustainable future, starting on the West Coast.
The company acquires, develops, builds, owns and operates a portfolio of RNG, waste to energy, and related infrastructure projects.
