Fortistar to Build Minnesota RNG Project at Pine Bend
A new renewable natural gas (RNG) plant has been approved to be built at the Pine Bend Sanitary Landfill in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota.
The plant, which will be the first of its kind in the state, will be built and run by Fortistar, a White Plains, New York-based investment firm that provides capital to build and manage companies that create green energy sources. It will be one of about 70 such facilities nationwide, reports the Star Tribune.
Phoenix-based Republic Services, which owns the Pine Bend landfill, will lease Fortistar the land for the 12,000-square foot facility. The RNG plant is expected to be operational by March 2022.
