Brightmark, Chevron Achieve First Gas Milestone With Florida’s Largest Family Dairy
Brightmark RNG Holdings, a joint venture partnership between Chevron and Brightmark Fund Holdings, have announced the delivery of the first renewable natural gas (RNG) from its Larson Project in Okeechobee County, Florida, US.
The Larson Project is comprised of four lagoon anaerobic digesters located at Larson Family Farms. This marks the JV's inaugural RNG project in the state and builds on the JV's extensive network of projects across the US to produce dairy RNG for lower carbon intensity transportation fuel.
The Larson Project captures methane from cow manure through the process of anaerobic digestion and converts it to RNG. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG), the second most abundant GHG, and is responsible for roughly 17.3% of global emissions.
