HoSt Group Enters US Market With Three Dairy Biogas Projects
The HoSt Group kicked off business in the US with three new biogas projects at dairy farms in upstate New York and in Ohio, to be realized in close cooperation with SJI Renewable Energy Ventures and Rev LNG. With these biogas projects, HoSt North America will have a strong footprint in the United States and will pursue expansion opportunities in the fast-growing biogas market.
The New York projects each produce 300 SCFM of biogas and the Ohio project approximately 475 SCFM of biogas, together equivalent to having 3,000 American family cars drive on bio-CNG for a year. The treated renewable natural gas on all three sites is delivered as compressed bio-CNG to tanker trucks that will transport the gas to a gas injection site. The renewable gas is destined for the California market under the Low Carbon Fuels Standard programme where it will be used as a renewable transport fuel. The projects contribute to the worldwide transition towards the production and use of renewable energy and renewable transport fuels.
