Duke Energy Announces Investment in Two New Renewable Natural Gas Projects in North Carolina
Duke Energy announced its investment in two projects to convert landfill gas from two North Carolina landfills into renewable natural gas (RNG). Each project is projected to produce roughly 500,000 dekatherms (Dth) of renewable natural gas each year. The combined 1 million Dth is equivalent to the average annual natural gas usage of nearly 17,000 residential customers in North Carolina.
Both landfill projects are being developed by Evensol LLC, which develops and acquires renewable fuels-based assets in the biomass, biogas and biofuels sectors. Energyneering Solutions LLC, which specializes in the design, construction and operation of biogas utilization projects, will build and operate the facilities.
