City of Phoenix RNG Plant Receives Honorable Mention in Fast Company’s 2020 World Changing Ideas Awards
Ameresco Inc., a leading energy efficiency and renewable energy company, today announced that its 91st Avenue RNG facility in Phoenix received an honorable mention in Fast Company’s 2020 World Changing Ideas Awards in the energy category. Organized annually, the World Changing Ideas Awards honor businesses, policies, projects and concepts that are actively engaged and deeply committed to solving the climate crisis, social injustice and economic inequality.
Designed, built, owned, operated and maintained by Ameresco, the 91st Avenue RNG facility is the largest wastewater treatment biogas-to-RNG facility of its kind in the United States. Using innovative, advanced energy technologies, the facility processes raw biogas generated on-site by the municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and converts it into RNG suitable for injection into the nation’s high-pressure natural gas pipeline. The carbon-neutral RNG produced at this facility offsets approximately 44,671 metric tons of CO2 per year — the equivalent of taking roughly 70,452 passenger vehicles off the road for one year.
