The ZooShare plant was financed through the sale of Community Bonds, a local investment opportunity that allows members of the public to support a project that benefits the environment and earn a return on their investment.
Each year, ZooShare’s biogas plant diverts 15K tonnes of inedible local food waste from landfills, reduces C02-equivalent emissions by up to 20K tonnes and generates up to 4.1 million kilowatt-hours of renewable power for the Ontario grid. Upon potential future expansion of the plant, ZooShare could also produce Renewable Natural Gas (RNG).
Over 800 ZooShare members have invested over $7 million through bond purchases to build Canada’s 1st zoo-based biogas plant! We are not currently offering new bonds for sale but you can click here to sign up for the waiting list to be notified in the event that we resume bond sales.
