DTE Vantage, NextEra Energy Resources Collaborate With City Of Riverview To Generate Renewable Natural Gas From Local Landfill
DTE Vantage is converting biogas from a City of Riverview landfill into renewable natural gas (RNG) which will soon fuel vehicles as a cleaner alternative resource. The project is the result of a collaboration between the City of Riverview and Riverview Energy Systems — an entity jointly owned by DTE Vantage and a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources.
The project, which dates back to the late 1980s, converts an existing landfill- gasto-renewable-electricity project into a new facility that captures the biogas produced at the landfill and upgrades it to pipeline-quality natural gas. The RNG is then sent to a DTE Energy natural gas pipeline and attributed for use by\ transportation fuel customers.
