LoCI Controls Expands Into Canada to Advance Renewable Natural Gas Technology

## LoCI Controls Launches Canadian Operations Amid RNG Sector Growth LoCI Controls, Inc. has announced the establishment of LoCI Controls Canada, marking the company's first international expansion as demand for renewable natural gas (RNG) infrastructure continues to accelerate across North America. According to a PR Newswire release dated September 29, 2026, the London, Ontario-based subsidiary will serve Canadian landfill gas operators seeking to maximize project performance and return on investment through the company's proprietary automated control technology. The expansion comes as Canada's RNG sector experiences significant momentum, driven by federal and provincial clean energy mandates and growing interest from the maritime and heavy transport industries in low-carbon fuel alternatives. RNG derived from landfill gas is increasingly viewed as a viable transitional fuel for vessel operators and port facilities looking to reduce emissions without wholesale fleet replacement. ### First Canadian Hire Signals Commitment to Market LoCI Controls confirmed its first Canadian hire as part of the launch, signalling a long-term commitment to the domestic market rather than a remote-support model. The company's automated landfill gas technology is designed to optimise gas extraction and processing efficiency, helping operators increase RNG yields from existing infrastructure — a critical factor as the industry scales to meet rising demand. ### Maritime Relevance For the maritime sector, the growth of RNG supply chains carries direct implications. Ports and terminal operators in Canada have been exploring RNG as a shore power and bunkering alternative, particularly for ferry operators and short-sea shipping routes where LNG and RNG dual-fuel vessels are gaining traction. A more robust domestic RNG production base could support the commercial viability of these fuel pathways. The broader North American push toward RNG aligns with International Maritime Organization (IMO) decarbonisation targets, with bio-methane and synthetic methane increasingly cited as credible pathways for vessels already equipped with gas-capable engines. LoCI Controls' Canadian expansion reflects wider industry confidence that RNG will play a meaningful role in the energy transition, both onshore and in marine applications. The company has not disclosed financial details of the expansion or named its inaugural Canadian hire.
