By Joseph MurphyDenmark's Nature Energy announced on March 15 it was acquiring land in Farnham, in Canada's Quebec province, to build its first-ever biogas plant in North America.

"It's fantastic that our ambitions to contribute to the ecological transition with farmers, businesses and the community beyond Denmark's borders are being realised here in Quebec," Nature CEO Ole Hvelplund commented. "With this acquisition in Quebec, we are now taking our expertise abroad, which will contribute to the green transition worldwide."
