Charleston’s Mercedes-Benz Plant is Site of South Carolina’s First Renewable Natural Gas Project
The Mercedes-Benz Vans Charleston Plant recently celebrated being the site of the state’s first renewable natural gas (RNG) project. The plant uses RNG “for various processes like maintaining building temperature and humidity levels as well as in the operation of its Paint Shop.”
MBV Charleston sources local RNG by converting methane produced at the McCall Farms commercial vegetable cannery in Effingham. In addition to being the first RNG project in South Carolina, the Charleston plant is the first MBV plant to use RNG.
