Clean Energy Breaks Ground on South Fork Dairy Facility


   
    

   OAKHURST, N.J. (DTN) --- Clean Energy Fuels Corp. announced it has broken 
ground on a renewable natural gas production facility at South Fork Dairy in 
Dimmitt, Texas. The construction of the digesters and processing plant is 
forecasted to cost approximately $85 million and is expected to be completed in 
2025.

   The South Fork Dairy facility is set to be one of the biggest RNG production 
developments in the country with an anticipated 2.6 million gallons of RNG to 
be produced annually once completed. All the RNG fuel produced at the site will 
make its way into Clean Energy's nationwide network of stations.

   "We are excited to begin construction on the South Fork Texas project. 
Building anaerobic digesters at a large dairy like South Fork will help the 
dairy owner, Frank Brand, and his team collect and monetize sizeable amounts of 
manure waste while also benefiting from the environmental credits an RNG 
facility brings. We are proud to call Frank, who is one of the most 
well-respected people in the dairy industry, our partner," said Clay Corbus, 
senior vice president of renewables at Clean Energy.

   "The project not only helps us convert our waste into a clean, useable 
sustainable fuel, but it also helps us with managing manure which for a dairy 
of our size is quite a feat. We do this while simultaneously reducing our 
environmental footprint -- it's a direction I hope many other dairies will look 
to pursuing," said Frand Brand, owner of South Fork Dairy.
