Clean Energy Fuels has begun construction of a renewable natural gas<\/strong>(RNG<\/em>) plant<\/strong> at South Fork Dairy in Dimmitt, Texas.\nThe plant facility will be dedicated to the production of RNG, an ultra-clean transportation fuel<\/strong> made from organic waste and with a negative carbon intensity score, by utilizing the on-farm housing of more than 16,000 cows. <\/p>\n\n

Construction of natural gas plant<\/h2>\n\n

The development of the digesters and processing plant is estimated to cost $85 million and is expected to be completed in 2025.\nSouth Fork Dairy will become one of the largest NGR projects in the country<\/strong>, with an annual production capacity of 2.6 million gallons.\nAll of the NGR production will be fed into Clean Energy’s nationwide network of refueling stations. <\/p>\n\n

“The installation of anaerobic digestion technology is a great dairy farming opportunity. This will allow Frank Brand, owner of South Fork, and his team to collect and revalue large amounts of organics waste, while gaining environmental credits from a GNR facility. We are proud to have Frank, a highly respected figure in the dairy industry, as a partner in this project.”<\/p>\nClay Corbus, Clean Energy’s vice president of renewable energy. <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

On the other hand, South Fork Dairy owner Frank Brand mentioned that the project harnesses and converts waste into a clean, sustainable and usable fuel<\/strong>, while helping us manage manure, an ongoing issue.\nIn addition, it reduces the environmental footprint of the farms, a goal that all dairies should follow. <\/p>\n\n

The impact on emissions reduction<\/h2>\n\n

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency<\/strong>, agriculture accounts for nearly 10 percent of pollutant gas emissions, and the capture of methane from agricultural wastes accounts for about 10 percent. capture of methane from agricultural waste<\/a><\/strong> can reduce these emissions.\nRNG, produced entirely from organic waste, reduces GHG emissions by an average of 300% compared to diesel. <\/p>\n\n

This type of gas is so clean that the California Air Resources Board<\/strong> gives dairy farm NGVs<\/strong> a carbon intensity score of -330, a considerably lower score, relative to electric vehicles charged with today’s electric grid.<\/p>\n\n
