Clean Energy's Victory Farms Dairy Begins Producing RNG
OAKHURST, N.J. (DTN) --- Clean Energy Fuels Corp. today announced its latest
renewable natural gas facility at Victory Farms Dairy in Revillo, South Dakota,
has successfully completed construction and is injecting pipeline quality RNG
into the interstate natural gas infrastructure.
The Victory Farms two-digester facility is utilizing the manure of 6,000
jersey cows, which could produce approximately 120,000 gallons of manure each
day to produce an estimated 900,000 gallons of negative carbon-intensity RNG
annually. The RNG produced at the facility will find its way to Clean Energy's
fueling network, helping commercial fleets reduce their greenhouse gas
emissions.
Currently, Clean Energy operates over 600 stations around North America that
provide fuel and services to customers including some of the largest logistics
operators like UPS and Amazon, many transit agencies including those in New
York City and Los Angeles, and dozens of waste companies including WM, Republic
Services, and Waste Connections.
Developed in partnership with Dynamic Renewables and financed through one of
Clean Energy's production joint ventures, the construction costs of the RNG
facility, including building the manure collection facility, digestors and
processing plant, totaled approximately $26 million. Clean Energy is in the
process of filing the necessary applications to generate federal and state
environmental credits.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, agriculture accounts
for nearly 10% of U.S. GHG emissions and the transportation sector accounts for
another 28%.
