Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation [Text Block]	1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation SusGlobal Energy Corp. ("SusGlobal") was formed by articles of amalgamation on December 3, 2014, in the Province of Ontario, Canada and its executive office is in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. SusGlobal, a company in the start-up stages and Commandcredit Corp. ("Commandcredit"), an inactive Canadian public company, amalgamated to continue business under the name of SusGlobal Energy Corp. On May 23, 2017, SusGlobal filed an Application for Authorization to continue in another Jurisdiction with the Ministry of Government Services in Ontario and a certificate of corporate domestication and certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware under which it changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Ontario to the State of Delaware (the "Domestication"). In connection with the Domestication each of the currently issued and outstanding common shares were automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into common shares compliant with the laws of the state of Delaware (the "Shares"). As a result of the Domestication, pursuant to Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), SusGlobal continued its existence under the DGCL as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware. The business, assets and liabilities of SusGlobal and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as well as its principal location and fiscal year, were the same immediately after the Domestication as they were immediately prior to the Domestication. SusGlobal filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 to register the Shares and this registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2017. On December 11, 2018, the Company began trading on the OTCQB venture market exchange, under the ticker symbol SNRG. SusGlobal is a renewables company focused on acquiring, developing and monetizing a global portfolio of proprietary technologies in the waste to energy and regenerative products application. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of SusGlobal and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SusGlobal Energy Canada Corp., SusGlobal Energy Canada I Ltd. ("SGECI"), SusGlobal Energy Belleville Ltd. ("SGEBL") and 1684567 Ontario Inc. ("1684567") (together, the "Company"), have been prepared following generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X, and are expressed in United States Dollars. The Company's functional currency is the Canadian Dollar ("CAD"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Going Concern [Abstract]
Going Concern [Text Block]	2. Going Concern The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months. The Company incurred a net loss of $1,507,507 (2019-$2,211,900) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and as at that date had a working capital deficit of $9,452,773 (December 31, 2019-$8,203,742) and an accumulated deficit of $12,963,987 (December 31, 2019-$11,449,497) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. On March 31, 2020, Pace Savings & Credit Union Limited ("PACE") and the Company reached an agreement for the repayment of the outstanding amounts owing to PACE. One of the credit facilities, in the amount of $34,391 ($48,788 CAD), was repaid in full on April 3, 2020 and the remaining credit facilities and the corporate term loan were to be repaid on or before September 30, 2020. Subsequently, on November 12, 2020, PACE and the Company reached a new agreement to repay the remaining credit facilities and corporate term loan on or before January 29, 2021. As part of the agreement, the Company is to bring all the amounts owing to PACE current, and prepay to January 2021, the regular monthly principal and interest payments. Management continues discussions with a Canadian chartered bank to re-finance its remaining obligations to PACE and repay other creditors. The Company has defaulted on the convertible promissory notes (see note 14). As a result, the advance (see note 11), the amounts owing to PACE (see note 12) and the obligations under capital lease (see note 13), are also in default. These factors cast substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, which is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to further the development of its business, satisfy its obligations to PACE and its other creditors, whose debts are also in default, and upon achieving profitable operations. There is no assurance of funding being available or available on acceptable terms. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown. Beginning in March 2020 the Governments of Canada and Ontario, as well as foreign governments, instituted emergency measures as a result of the novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19). The virus has had a major impact on Canadian and international securities and currency markets and consumer activity which may impact the Company's financial position, its results of operations and its cash flows significantly. The situation is constantly evolving, however, so the extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will impact businesses and the economy is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict the extent to which its financial position, results of operations and cash flows will be affected in the future. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]
Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements [Text Block]	4. Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the financial accounting standards board (the "FASB") or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date or possibly early adopted, where permitted. Newly Adopted On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, "Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Movement". ASU No. 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, and/or adding certain disclosures. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-13, did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other ( Recently issued ASU 2020-06-Debt-"Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity": simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations.

Investments, All Other Investments [Abstract]
Financial Instruments [Text Block]	5. Financial Instruments The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, funds held in trust, trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their fair values as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the advance, long-term debt, obligations under capital lease, convertible promissory notes and loans payable to related party approximated their fair values due to their market interest rates. Interest, Credit and Concentration Risk Interest rate risk is the risk borne by an interest-bearing asset or liability as a result of fluctuations in interest rates. Financial assets and financial liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. In the opinion of management, the Company is exposed to significant interest rate risk on the current portion of its long-term debt and convertible promissory notes of $ ($9,490,424 CAD) (2019-$ ; $9,351,482 CAD). Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty's inability to perform its payment obligations. As at September 30, 2020, the Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. As at September 30, 2020, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were held with reputable Canadian chartered banks, a credit union and a United States of America bank. With regards to credit risk with customers, the customers' credit evaluation is reviewed by management and account monitoring procedures are used to minimize the risk of loss. The Company believes that no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for by the allowance for doubtful accounts are inherent in accounts receivable. As at September 30, 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $ nil As at September 30, 2020, the Company is exposed to concentration risk as it had three customers (December 31, 2019-six customers) representing greater than 5% of total trade receivables and three customers (December 31, 2019-six customers) represented 89% (December 31, 2019-90%) of trade receivables. The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company's total revenue. These customers accounted for 69% (40%, 15% and 14%) (September 30, 2019-71%; 37%, 21% and 13%) of total revenue. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Company takes steps to ensure it has sufficient working capital and available sources of financing to meet future cash requirements for capital programs and operations. Management is in discussions with a Canadian chartered bank to refinance its obligations to PACE and repay other creditors. Refer also to going concern, note 2. The Company actively monitors its liquidity to ensure that its cash flows and working capital are adequate to support its financial obligations and the Company's capital programs. In order to continue operations, the Company will need to raise capital, repay PACE for all of its outstanding obligations by January 29, 2021 and complete the refinancing of its real property and organic waste processing and composting facility. There is no assurance of funding being available or available on acceptable terms. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown. Refer also to going concern, note 2. Currency Risk Although the Company's functional currency is the CAD, the Company realizes a portion of its expenses in USD. Consequently, certain assets and liabilities are exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. As at September 30, 2020, $597,300 (December 31, 2019-$258,403) of the Company's net monetary liabilities were denominated in USD. The Company has not entered into any hedging transactions to reduce the exposure to currency risk.

Although the January 2019 SPAs are dated January 28, 2019 (the "January 2019 Effective Date"), they became effective upon the receipt in cash of the issue price by the January 2019 Investors. The amounts of $102,500, $100,000, and $100,000, totaling $302,500, represented the proceeds to the Company, net of transaction-related expenses, for the January 2019 Notes from the January 2019 Investors and were received in cash from February 1 through February 4, 2019. The maturity date of each of the January 2019 Investor Notes is January 28, 2020 (the "January 2019 Maturity Dates"). The Notes bear interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum (the "January 2019 Interest Rate"), which interest shall be paid by the Company to the January 2019 Investors in Common Stock at any time the January 2019 Investors send a notice of conversion to the Company. The January 2019 Investors are entitled to, at their option, convert all or any amount of the principal face amount and any accrued but unpaid interest of the January 2019 Notes into Common Stock, at any time, at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to 65% multiplied by the lowest trading price (as defined in the January 2019 Notes) of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTC Marketplace exchange upon which the Company's shares are traded during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding (i) the January 2019 Effective Date; or (ii) the conversion date. The Company has reserved a minimum of eight (8) times the number of its authorized and unissued Common Stock (the "January 2019 Reserved Amounts"), free from pre-emptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of the January 2019 Notes. Upon full conversion of the January 2019 Investor Notes, any shares remaining in such reserve shall be cancelled. The Company increases the January 2019 Reserved Amount in accordance with the Company's obligations under the January 2019 Investor Notes. Since the January 2019 Investor Notes were not repaid by their January 28, 2020 maturity date, they are in default and the outstanding balance (principal plus accrued interest) of each of the January 2019 Investor Notes was increased by 50% and increased by a further $15,000 (together the "Default Amounts") along with the interest rate increasing from 12% to 24% annually. The January 2019 Investors continue to have the option to require the Company to immediately issue, in lieu of the Default Amount, the number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the Default Amount divided by the conversion price then in effect. (b) On March 7 and March 8, 2019, the Company entered into two securities purchase agreements (the "March 2019 SPAs") with two investors (the "March 2019 Investors") pursuant to which the Company issued to each March 2019 Investor two 12% unsecured convertible promissory notes comprised of the first notes (the "First Notes") being in the amount of $275,000 each, and the remaining notes in the amount of $275,000 each (the "Back-End Notes," and, together with the First Notes, the "March 2019 Investor Notes ") in the aggregate principal amount of $1,100,000, with such principal and the interest thereon convertible into Common Stock at the March 2019 Investors' option. Each First Note contains a $25,000 Original Issue Discount such that the issue price of each First Note was $250,000. The proceeds on the issuance of the First Notes were received from the March 2019 Investors upon the signing of the March 2019 SPAs. The proceeds on the issuance of the Back-End Notes were initially received by the issuance of two offsetting $250,000 secured notes to the Company by the March 2019 Investors (the "Buyer Notes"), provided that prior to conversion of the Back-End Notes, the March 2019 Investors must have paid back the Back-End Notes in cash. Although the March 2019 SPAs are dated March 7, 2019 and March 8, 2019 (each, a "March 2019 Effective Date"), they became effective upon the receipt in cash of the issue price by the March 2019 Investors. On March 11, 2019, the Company received cash of $456,000, net of transaction-related expenses, for the First Notes from the March 2019 Investors. On April 24, 2019, the Company received one of the Back-End Notes from the March 2019 Investors in the face value amount of $275,000. The proceeds received by the Company was $228,000, net of $25,000 discount and financing costs. The maturity dates of the March 2019 Investor Notes are March 7, 2020 and March 8, 2020. The March 2019 Investor Notes bear interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum (the "March 2019 Interest Rate"), which interest shall be paid by the Company to the March 2019 Investors in Common Stock at any time the March 2019 Investors send a notice of conversion to the Company. The March 2019 Investors are entitled to, at their option, convert all or any amount of the principal face amount and any accrued but unpaid interest of the March 2019 Investor Notes into Common Stock, at any time, at a conversion price for each share of SusGlobal Energy Corp. Common Stock equal to 65% multiplied by the lowest trading price (as defined in the Notes) of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTC Marketplace exchange upon which the Company's shares are traded during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding (i) the applicable March 2019 Effective Date; or (ii) the conversion date. The Company reserved a minimum of eight (8) times the number of its authorized and unissued Common Stock (the "March 2019 Reserved Amounts"), free from pre-emptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of the March 2019 Investor Notes. Upon full conversion of the March 2019 Investor Notes, any shares remaining in such reserve shall be cancelled. The Company increases the March 2019 Reserved Amount in accordance with the Company's obligations under the March 2019 Investor Notes. Since the March 2019 Investor Notes were not repaid by their March 7, 2020 and March 8, 2020 maturity dates, they are also in default resulting in the outstanding balance (principal plus accrued interest) increasing by 10% and the interest rate on the 2019 March Investor Notes increasing from 12% to 24% annually, effective January 28, 2020. The March 2019 Investors continue to have the option to convert their March 2019 Investor Notes.

Upon full conversion of the May 2019 Investor note, any shares remaining in such reserve shall be cancelled.
