Who We Are: ZooShare Biogas Co-operative Inc. is a non-profit renewable energy co-operative that is developing a 500 kW biogas plant on the grounds of the Toronto Zoo. The plant will turn the Zoo's annual manure output and food waste from GTA-based grocery stores into electricity, heat, fertilizer and cash for the Zoo – and our primary investors, individual Ontarians.
ZooShare’s mission is to be a catalyst for the growth of community-owned biogas through education and investment.
ZooShare's operations will:
- divert waste from landfill
- reduce annual CO2 emissions equal to taking 2,100 cars off the road
- produce renewable power, heat and fertilizer
Get Involved: We are looking for members and investors who are excited about being a part of creating change for the community, the Zoo and the future of biogas in Ontario.
As an investor you can earn a fixed 7% return in your RRSP account while also creating returns for the environment and the Toronto Zoo.
