Anaerobic Digestor Feasibility Studies Funding Program

For New Brunswick businesses and organizations exploring renewable energy or waste-to-energy solutions, understanding whether an anaerobic digestor project is viable is a critical first step. The Anaerobic Digestor Feasibility Studies Funding Program helps offset the upfront cost of evaluating these projects, allowing proponents to assess technical, environmental, and economic feasibility before committing significant capital. This support can be especially valuable for farms, food processors, municipalities, and other operations managing organic waste streams.

Delivered by the Government of New Brunswick, the program provides non-repayable funding to support professional feasibility work, such as engineering assessments, feedstock analysis, energy output projections, and preliminary financial modeling. Rather than funding construction, the focus is on de-risking early-stage ideas and helping project proponents make informed decisions. Funding amounts vary by project scope and complexity, but are intended to meaningfully reduce the cost of high-quality third-party studies.

By supporting early analysis, the program encourages stronger, more bankable clean energy projects and helps advance New Brunswick’s broader environmental and economic goals. Businesses considering anaerobic digestion as a way to reduce waste, lower energy costs, or create new revenue streams may find this program a practical starting point. Reviewing the full program details can help determine whether your proposed project and study approach are a good fit.
