Clean Energy Fuels Corp., a U.S. provider of clean fuel for the transportation market, has broken ground on a renewable natural gas (RNG) production facility at South Fork Dairy in Dimmitt, Texas.
Home to a 16,000-cow herd, the facility will produce RNG, an ultra-clean transportation fuel that is made from organic waste and receives a negative carbon-intensity score.
The construction of the digesters and processing plant is forecast 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 produced annually. All the RNG fuel produced at the site will make its way into Clean Energy’s nationwide network of stations.
“The project not only helps us convert our waste into a clean, usable sustainable fuel, but it also helps us with managing manure, which for a dairy of our size is quite a feat,”
