The city is hoping to reap the benefits of renewable energy. Two new machines are capturing methane gas from the city dump and turning it into electricity. Bruce Baxter, of Toromont Energy, helped to design the machines and says safety is priority one. He says temperature and pressure are monitored on a regular basis and that if any thresholds are exceeded it will lead to a shutdown. Thunder Bay Hydro president Rob Mace says there is potential for a third machine to be built on the site.
