What Taurus RNG does
Taurus RNG (legal entity: Taurus Canada Renewable Natural Gas Corp.) is a Vancouver-based renewable energy platform that develops and operates renewable natural gas (RNG) production facilities, with a primary focus on converting livestock manure from cattle feedlots into carbon-negative biomethane. The company's core technology is a proprietary seven-step process: feedstock collection and dilution, anaerobic digestion in oxygen-free enclosed tanks maintained at 40°C for up to 30 days, biogas upgrading to pipeline-spec biomethane, biogenic CO2 capture and geological sequestration (a BECCS approach), pipeline injection, and nutrient recovery from the resulting digestate. The flagship Central Farms RNG project in Coaldale, Alberta — a joint venture with KCL Cattle Company and Kasko Cattle Co. and partly financed through the Alberta TIER program ($10M) and Canada's Low Carbon Economy Fund ($3.4M) — is designed to process 130,000 tonnes of manure per year into 360,000 GJ of RNG, with full commercial operations targeted for January 2028. Approximately 86% of the company's RNG capacity is sourced from the feedlot industry, and management states expertise spanning more than 50 global RNG projects.
Taurus generates revenue (once operational) through two B2B streams: (1) sales of RNG injected into existing gas pipelines for utility partners such as FortisBC to distribute to homes and businesses, and (2) sales of nutrient-rich digestate as a sustainable fertilizer displacing synthetic urea. Pricing is negotiated bilaterally via long-term contracts and is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting agricultural operators with adjacent pipeline access for co-development, with the company handling the full project lifecycle from permitting and construction through operations.
The company operates as a private Canadian corporation under British Columbia law with no public-market listings. Institutional investors include SWEN Impact Fund (which holds two board seats), alongside co-founders Phillip Abrary (CEO/Chairman), Daniele Chiodini (CTO), and Eric Streeter (General Counsel). Headcount is reported at 11–50 employees. The company pursues Indigenous community engagement and local-government consultation as part of its development process. As of the most recent disclosures, Taurus remains pre-revenue pending commissioning of Central Farms and any subsequent facilities.

Revenue model
- RNG Sales to Utilities: Taurus RNG produces renewable natural gas from livestock manure and sells it to utilities through pipeline infrastructure. The RNG is injected into natural gas pipelines and delivered to communities to power homes. Revenue is generated from the sale of RNG produced at their facilities.
- Digestate Sales: The nutrient-rich digestate byproduct from anaerobic digestion is sold as sustainable fertilizer for agricultural land application. The solid digestate contains phosphorous, nitrogen, and potassium; liquid digestate provides readily available nitrogen to enhance plant growth and displace synthetic urea.

Taurus RNG product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Taurus RNG develops and operates renewable natural gas (RNG) production facilities that convert livestock manure and agricultural organics into carbon-negative energy. The company deploys proprietary anaerobic digestion with biogas upgrading and biogenic CO2 capture and geological storage (BECCS), selling the resulting pipeline-quality biomethane to gas utilities and nutrient-rich digestate as sustainable fertilizer.
Product overview
Taurus RNG operates as a complete RNG project lifecycle platform, developing renewable natural gas projects and facilities from conception to operation. The company offers its proprietary anaerobic digestion and carbon sequestration technology through RNG Production Facilities, with the flagship project being Central Farms RNG in Alberta. The core offering consists of the Taurus RNG Process platform, which transforms livestock manure and agricultural waste into carbon-negative RNG through a 7-step integrated system including feedstock collection, anaerobic digestion, biogas upgrading, biogenic CO2 capture and sequestration, and nutrient recycling. Over 86% of the company's RNG capacity is sourced from the feedlot industry, with multiple advanced projects under development in Canada.
