Your Cows Make Methane.
That Methane Is Worth Money.
Your cows produce manure. That manure releases methane. Under Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations, oil companies are legally required to reduce the carbon intensity of their fuel. The most cost-effective way for them to do that is to buy credits from companies that capture methane. ACC puts a digester on your farm that captures that methane. ACC owns the equipment, handles all the paperwork, sells the credits, and sends you a cheque. You provide the land and the manure. You never pay for the equipment. You never touch a government form. ACC pays you every year the digester operates.

Straight Up, This Is the Ballpark for a Farm Like Yours
Steady-state annual estimate (Year 3+). Year 1 is approximately half this during biology ramp-up.
Here is what you will get from ACC:
Assumptions behind this estimate
Credits are calculated using the CFR CI pathway: (baseline CI − project CI) × energy produced. Default project CI of −50 gCO₂e/MJ will be updated with GHGenius modelling for each farm. RNG priced at $20/GJ (upgraded pipeline-quality gas under renewable content mandates). Credit prices: $350/tonne in BC (combined federal CFR + provincial LCFS), $250/tonne in other provinces (federal CFR only). Avoided costs (heating, bedding, fertiliser) are farm-specific estimates. Year 3+ steady-state shown; Year 1 at ~50% yield during biology ramp-up. A full carbon feasibility audit provides farm-specific calculations using the federal GHGenius and Fuel LCA models.
The Catch
The Catch Is, as Always, Prices Will Fluctuate.
The money ACC pays you each year depends on two things: the price of carbon credits under federal regulation, and the price of renewable natural gas sold to utilities. Both move. We believe both are going up — the regulations tighten every year and utilities need more renewable gas, not less. But we could be wrong. Drag the sliders below and see for yourself. The savings — bedding, fertiliser, heat — never change. Those come from physics, not policy.
Risk
What If It All Goes Wrong?
So some guy flies in from British Columbia, sits at your kitchen table, and tells you your manure could put $0 a year in your pocket. He says his company pays for the equipment, the government covers part of it with grants, and you never write a cheque. He says oil companies are legally required to buy credits generated from what comes out of your lagoon.
You've been farming long enough to know what this sounds like. Fair enough.
Here are the three scenarios you're actually worried about — and what happens in each one.
Scenario 1: Credit price crashes to $150/tonne
That's less than half the current spot price. Your annual payment from ACC drops to roughly $0 per year.
That's a real haircut from $0. It's also $0 per year in new income that didn't exist before the digester went on your farm. From manure. That you were throwing away.
Scenario 2: Credits go to zero — every programme repealed
Every carbon credit programme in Canada is repealed simultaneously. Federal and provincial. All of them. This requires dismantling multiple statutes across multiple jurisdictions.
You still have a digester. It still produces methane every day. That methane still has thermal energy — 9.97 kWh per cubic metre, governed by thermodynamics, not Parliament. The RNG still sells to the utility because provincial gas mandates are separate legislation. The digestate still replaces synthetic nitrogen on your fields.
At zero credit revenue, you still receive approximately $0 per year from your share of gas sales plus bedding and fertiliser savings. That's not $0. But it's $0 from an asset you didn't pay for, on land you already own, processing manure you were going to throw away.
Scenario 3: ACC goes under
You own a Class B share, not the digester. ACC owns the digester. If ACC goes under, the digester and all associated contracts become part of ACC's receivership or restructuring. A successor company or ACC's remaining shareholders would likely continue operations — the equipment is still producing methane, the credits still have value, the gas still sells.
Your revenue may be disrupted during transition, but the physical asset on your land continues to function. There are currently fewer than five companies in Canada that can provide this service. If ACC succeeds in proving the model, there will be fifty within five years. You'll have options.
In no scenario do you lose your farm. In no scenario do you owe money. Physics doesn't have an election cycle.
The worst realistic outcome is that credit prices drop and your annual payment from ACC decreases to roughly $0 per year instead of $0. Your savings — heating, bedding, fertiliser — never change because they come from the physical output of the digester, not from credit markets. The worst catastrophic outcome is that every credit programme is repealed and your payment from ACC stops entirely. You still keep the digester on your farm producing gas, bedding, and fertiliser at no cost to you — worth approximately $0 per year. If ACC cannot arrange financing, the project does not proceed and your share purchase is fully refunded.
Every other question you're thinking right now
What if the federal government repeals the Clean Fuel Regulations?
ACC owns the digester and carries all the debt. If credit programmes change, ACC absorbs the impact, not you. The digester stays on your farm producing gas for heating, solids for bedding, and digestate for fertiliser regardless of what happens in Ottawa. Your savings continue. Your payment may change if credit prices change, but the physical benefits never stop. Repealing federal legislation requires a bill through the House and the Senate, which takes years, not days.
What if Poilievre kills the carbon tax?
The consumer carbon tax — the one at the gas pump — is politically vulnerable. But the credits ACC sells are traded under the Output-Based Pricing System and the Clean Fuel Regulations — the industrial compliance mechanisms that require large emitters and fuel producers to buy credits. This system has bipartisan industry support because it protects Canadian exporters from carbon border adjustments. Repealing the OBPS would expose Canadian manufacturers to trade penalties from Europe and the United States. No Prime Minister is going to invite a trade war to score a domestic political point.
What if I can't get financing?
You don't get a digester. But you're not out anything — your Class B share purchase is fully refundable if the project doesn't proceed for any reason, including financing denial. You get your money back within 30 days. You also keep the professional report showing exactly what your manure is worth.
What if the science is wrong?
The emission factors are published by the IPCC and peer-reviewed across 195 member countries. If the IPCC emission factors for livestock methane are materially wrong, the entire global climate science framework has a problem that extends well beyond your farm.
So what's actually the riskiest thing on my farm?
You already know the answer. It's everything you're already doing. Your milk price can drop 40% because someone in New Zealand decided to dump powder on the world market. Your corn can burn up in July. Your best cow can go down on a Sunday night. You manage all of that. You've always managed all of that. And you're still here. The digester revenue comes from federal law, not a commodity board. The input is manure — your cows make it whether milk is $8 or $4. The equipment is owned, insured, and maintained by ACC. The debt coverage ratio on ACC's loan is 9 to 1.
And at the very least — if the credits drop, if the politicians change their minds, if every worst case on this page comes true — you come out of it with ACC's digester on your land turning your shit into home and barn heating, paid for by the oil companies. Well. That's one for our side.
What Could Change
Here Is What Could Change on Your Farm
Not credits. Not regulations. Not abstract revenue. These are the physical, tangible changes a digester could bring to your operation.
The propane truck could stop coming.
Biogas from a digester can replace the propane you've been buying for years. The credits are abstract. The propane truck not showing up is concrete.
Your fertiliser bill could drop.
Digestate from the process can replace synthetic nitrogen on your fields. As fertiliser costs rise, this saving rises with them.
Your lagoon could stop being a liability.
Methane captured instead of vented. Environmental farm plan risk item resolved. Manure could go from compliance cost to income source.
The odour could drop 90%.
Anaerobic digestion can reduce odour emissions by approximately 90% compared to open-lagoon storage.[16] Your neighbours would notice.
What You Could Be Leaving on the Table
You already know what propane costs. You already know what the power bill is. Here's what could change when your animals start paying those bills for you.
Run the calculator above first to see your personalized cost comparison.
Surplus biogas that isn't used on-farm can be upgraded to renewable natural gas for pipeline injection at 4–12× conventional gas prices,[10] or compressed as vehicle fuel. Each option generates additional credits that ACC manages and sells. The surplus is a second revenue stream ACC develops over time. Approximately 15–18 months from first visit to first payment. During that time, the digester begins generating bedding, fertiliser, and heating savings immediately upon operation.
The Process
How It Works
We handle everything between your manure and your money. You farm. We do the rest.
We Visit Your Farm
Our team comes to your operation, walks your barn, measures your lagoon, and assesses the site. One visit. Two to three hours. No charge. No obligation. If the numbers work for both sides, we move forward.
You Become a Shareholder
You purchase a Class B share in Anderson Carbon Capture for $2,500. This makes you a part-owner of the company. As the network grows, every farmer's stake grows with it. You're not hiring a contractor. You're joining a business. This is refundable if the project does not proceed for any reason.
We Fund the Digester
ACC applies for every available government grant that fits your operation — federal and provincial.[5] Grant programmes open and close; we track them so you don't have to. Whatever the grants don't cover, ACC finances directly through Farm Credit Canada. ACC owns the digester. ACC carries the debt. ACC pays for the equipment from the revenue it generates. You don't borrow money. You don't sign a loan. You don't make a payment. Your chequebook never opens.
We Handle All Compliance
We register the pathway in the federal government's CFR-CATS portal administered by Environment and Climate Change Canada[6], file the pathway application under ACC's account, coordinate third-party verification, and manage annual compliance reporting. We monitor the digester remotely from our dashboard. You never touch a government form.
You Get Paid
ACC aggregates credits from across our network for institutional-scale volume and better pricing. The buyers are oil companies required by law to purchase credits. Your payment is calculated, a transparent statement is produced, and your cheque is deposited. ACC pays you annually for every year the digester operates on your farm. Every payment comes with a statement showing what the digester produced and what it earned.
This is for you if:
You have dairy cattle, beef cattle, hogs, or poultry in a confined or semi-confined operation. Your manure is currently stored in a lagoon, pit, or covered storage. You're in a province where CFR pathways and RNG offtake are accessible. You're open to a 12–18 month process from first visit to first payment.
This is probably not for you if:
Your operation is exclusively pasture-based with no manure collection. Your herd is under 50 dairy-equivalent head. You already have a digester and an existing credit management arrangement. You're looking for guaranteed returns — we provide estimates based on published science and current market data, not guarantees.
What nobody told you yet
You're Not a Customer.
You're a Partner.
Everything above this section was convincing you the digester works. This section tells you it's bigger than a digester.
When you sign, you purchase a Class B share in Anderson Carbon Capture for $2,500. Not a token. Not a loyalty card. An actual ownership share in the company. You own a piece of ACC — not just the digester on your farm, the whole company. As ACC grows and deploys more digesters across Canada, your stake appreciates. You're not hiring a contractor. You're joining a business.
Your annual payment is your current income. Your Class B share is your stake in a growing enterprise. The two are separate. One pays your bills today. The other builds your family's wealth over time.
"You don't hire us. You join us."

The Founder
Why This Company Exists
I'm going to be straight with you about what this company is and what it isn't.
Anderson Carbon Capture is a startup. We're new. We're small. We're a group of professionals in Ontario who looked at the federal carbon credit regulations, looked at 60,000 livestock farms venting methane into the atmosphere, looked at the billions of dollars sitting in government grant programmes and compliance markets — and saw an open door that nobody was walking through.
So we're walking through it. And we want to bring you with us.
Here's what we see. The federal government has built a carbon credit market with a structural deficit — more buyers than sellers, by law, through at least 2030. The Clean Fuel Regulations have legislated carbon intensity reductions that tighten every year, with the compliance period running through 2030 and credit banking provisions that extend market demand well beyond that. The compliance ceiling was $319 per credit in 2024 and rises annually. The Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership funds provincial cost-share programmes through March 2028. British Columbia's Low Carbon Fuel Standard has no sunset clause. Alberta's TIER market has operated continuously since 2007.
Will the credits last forever? Probably not. Will the specific programmes change? Almost certainly. Governments change. Regulations evolve. That's reality.
But here's what we also know: the credits don't have to last forever to change your life. A farmer who hosts a digester for even five years collects payments that can retire debt, buy land, or set up the next generation. And when the credits end — if they end — you still have a machine on your farm that turns your animals' by-products into fuel to heat your home and barns, with the excess sold for the life of the equipment. The digester doesn't stop working because a regulation changed. Physics doesn't expire.
This is a modern gold rush. The money is real. It's sitting there. It's waiting for the industrious and the tenacious. The farmers who move now will collect the most, for the longest, with the least competition. The farmers who wait will watch their neighbours collect it first.
We are dreamers. We are idealists. We are workaholics who see this opportunity for exactly what it is — an open door to government funds that the government itself built for you but never explained. That door may close down the road. Every credible estimate says it won't close for years. But we're not going to lie to you and say it's forever. We're going to say: it's open now, and we know how to walk you through it.
What we're building is as close to turn-key as we can make it. You won't manage the digester. You won't file the paperwork. You won't negotiate with gas buyers or credit brokers or government agencies. We own it, finance it, maintain it, insure it, monitor it, and manage every piece of paperwork between your manure and your money. We want this to be something that doesn't add to your daily worries — you have enough of those. We want it to be the thing that makes the other worries easier to carry.
That's the philosophy. Absolute transparency about what we are — a startup, early stage, building something we believe in. Absolute transparency about the opportunity — real, legislated, time-limited, and extraordinary while it lasts. And absolute transparency about the risk — because you deserve to make this decision with your eyes open, not with a sales pitch ringing in your ears.
We're not the biggest company you'll ever deal with. But we might be the most honest.
How long is the door open?
The Clean Fuel Regulations mandate carbon intensity reductions through 2030, with annual targets that tighten each year (SOR/2022-140, Schedule 1). Credit banking provisions allow credits generated now to be used for future compliance — creating demand that extends beyond 2030. The compliance ceiling (CCM trigger price) was $319 in 2024 and is indexed upward annually. The Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (SCAP) funds provincial digester cost-share programmes through March 31, 2028. A successor framework is in development. British Columbia's Low Carbon Fuel Standard has operated since 2013 with no legislated sunset. Alberta's Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) market has operated continuously since 2007. The federal draft Reducing Manure Methane Emissions offset protocol, when finalised, will create an additional crediting pathway beyond the CFR. No federal party has proposed repealing the industrial compliance mechanisms that drive credit demand.

Regulatory Status
Where the Rules Stand — April 2026
Anderson Carbon Capture operates under multiple federal and provincial regulatory frameworks. We believe in full transparency about where these programmes stand.
The Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR): Active federal law since July 1, 2023. Administered by Environment and Climate Change Canada. Requires fuel producers to reduce the lifecycle carbon intensity of gasoline and diesel. Credits are generated through registered pathways, including renewable natural gas from agricultural methane capture. This is ACC's primary crediting mechanism. The pathway is active, open, and accepting registrations.
Federal Offset Protocol — Reducing Manure Methane Emissions: Currently in draft. The protocol was posted for public comment and closed April 29, 2025. When finalised, this will create an additional crediting pathway specifically for manure methane reduction projects under the federal GHG Offset Credit System. ACC will utilise this pathway when it becomes available. It is not yet available.
Provincial Programmes: British Columbia's Low Carbon Fuel Standard allows credit stacking with the federal CFR on the same tonne of avoided emissions — the “double-dip” that makes BC the highest-value jurisdiction. Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan each have provincial cost-share programmes for digester capital costs under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (SCAP), open until March 31, 2028. Alberta operates its own compliance offset market under TIER with established biogas protocols.
Grant Programmes: The federal Agricultural Clean Technology Adoption Stream closed March 31, 2026. The ACT Research and Innovation Stream remains open until March 31, 2028. Provincial cost-share programmes under SCAP remain open. A successor federal framework is in development but has not been announced. ACC's financial model does not depend on its existence.

Working Farm Questions
Questions from Real Operations
These questions came from dairy and livestock operations across Ontario. If your farm raises questions like these, you're exactly who we built this for.
My herd is on sand bedding. Can the digester handle that?
Sand is the most common digester compatibility issue in Ontario dairy. It settles in the tank, abrades pumps, and reduces effective volume. A standard digester will struggle with sand-laden manure without a pre-separation system upstream — a sand lane or settling basin costing $40,000–$80,000 installed. But here's what most sand-bedding farmers don't realise until we run the numbers: switching to straw or shavings before installation often pays for itself immediately — because the digester produces your bedding at no additional cost. Separated fibre from the digestate replaces purchased bedding material. Ontario operations running organic bedding with a digester typically save $40,000–$60,000 per year in bedding costs alone. That's a saving you collect on top of the carbon credit revenue, not instead of it. The audit will model both paths and show you which one puts more money in your pocket.
Does adding a digester trigger a change to my Nutrient Management Plan?
Yes. In Ontario, installing an anaerobic digester constitutes a material change to your manure storage and handling system. You will need an updated Nutrient Management Strategy or Plan, engineered drawings for the building permit, and OMAFRA approval. The good news: digestate is a superior fertiliser product with more predictable nutrient content than raw manure, so the updated NMP often shows improved nutrient management — which OMAFRA likes. ACC coordinates the NMP update and the municipal building permit application. The engineering is subcontracted to a licensed Ontario engineer. This is included in the project management scope — you don't hire your own engineer.
My farm is 2 km from the nearest gas main. Who pays for the pipeline?
This is one of the most important questions in the feasibility audit. If your farm is within 500 metres of a high-pressure main, pipeline interconnection is typically $50,000–$150,000 and can be included in the project capital stack. At 2 km, the cost rises significantly. At that distance, on-farm utilisation — heating barns, drying grain, displacing propane — or compressed biogas trucking may be more economic than grid injection. The audit assesses this specific question for your farm. If grid injection doesn't pencil out, your annual payment from ACC is unaffected — credits come from methane capture, not from what happens to the gas afterward.
How much gas does the digester burn just to keep itself warm in an Ontario winter?
Parasitic heat load is real and it matters. A mesophilic digester operates at 35–40°C. In a sustained –25°C cold snap, the heating demand can consume 25–35% of the biogas produced. In milder months, parasitic load drops to 10–15%. The annual average for Southwestern Ontario is approximately 20–25%. The revenue estimates in our calculator account for this — what you see is what you'd actually sell or use, not the gross theoretical output. Biolectric's systems are designed for Northern European climates — Belgium, Netherlands, Scandinavia — which have comparable winter conditions to Ontario.
Can I bring in off-farm waste to boost gas production?
Co-digestion — adding food waste, fats, oils, grease, or other organic feedstocks alongside manure — can significantly increase biogas yield, sometimes doubling or tripling the output. However, receiving off-farm organic waste in Ontario requires registration or approval under the Nutrient Management Act and potentially O. Reg. 347. The carbon intensity score also changes. The feasibility audit will assess whether co-digestion makes sense for your operation. Your payment terms don't change regardless of feedstock mix.
If something breaks on a Sunday morning, who's coming to fix it?
ACC owns the equipment, so this is ACC's problem. Biolectric systems are remotely monitored — temperature, pressure, gas flow, pH — and most issues are detected before they become emergencies. As ACC's Ontario farm network grows past 15–20 active digesters, a full-time field technician based in Southwestern Ontario is the plan. Until then, the realistic answer is: remote diagnosis within hours, a technician on site within 24–48 hours for non-emergency issues, and an emergency call-out arrangement for critical failures. Your digester has redundant systems — if one pump fails, the system operates at reduced capacity until the repair.
What provinces do you serve?
All except Quebec. Ontario and BC are primary markets. BC farms earn roughly double because the provincial LCFS stacks with the federal programme.[15] Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Atlantic provinces are served on an expanding schedule.
If ACC sells the credits, can I still claim Net Zero for the DFC?
No. When carbon credits are sold to an obligated party, the environmental attribute transfers to them. You cannot then claim that same reduction toward your own farm's sustainability metrics. However, ACC can model a programme where some credits are retired on your behalf instead of sold. The honest answer is that most farmers will take the payment because $0 per year is worth more to their operation than a sustainability badge. But if Net Zero certification matters to your brand or your processor relationship, we can structure a programme that balances your payment with retained environmental claims.
