Clean Energy to Provide 86 Million Gallons of RNG to One of Nation’s Largest Transit Systems, San Diego MTS
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. has been awarded a contract by San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS), to provide an expected 86 million gallons of renewable natural gas (RNG) to operate its bus fleet.
“San Diego MTS was an early adopter of natural gas in the 1990s and has continued to seek cleaner and more economical fueling options,” said Clean Energy SVP Chad Lindholm. “As a result of the use of RNG the people who live in the San Diego area will have less exposure to greenhouse gas emissions and cleaner air.”
PepsiCo to Invest €7.5M in Biodigester for Gas Production at Lisbon Plant
PepsiCo Portugal will invest €7.5 million in a new biodigester to transform organic waste from the Carregado plant into biogas, the company’s first in southern Europe, with construction starting in April.
In a statement released on Monday, PepsiCo Portugal said this investment “reflects the company’s commitment to sustainability and the reduction of carbon emissions at its snack food factory in Carregado.”
Two Birds, One Stone? Growing Sector Turns to Biogas Systems for Fuel, Waste Reduction
A seven-foot flare outside the Mount Pleasant Wastewater Treatment Plant serves as a constant reminder of wasted potential.
This flame is burning excess methane that's released from the plant as it processes sewage waste. But instead of burning the methane, the gas could be captured and harnessed as a form of renewable natural gas.
The Renewable Natural Gas Helping Energy Producers Meet Climate Obligations
As pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensifies in the face of climate change, some energy companies are turning to a unique alternative to traditional fossil fuels.
Companies like New Brunswick’s Irving Oil have started replacing some of their natural gas usage with RNG, a renewable natural gas made from organic matter.
Canadian-Owned Irving Oil Selects Anaergia Inc. as a Supplier of Carbon-Negative Renewable Natural Gas for its Operations, Including the Saint John Refinery
Irving Oil and Anaergia Inc. have announced a partnership that will supply Canada’s largest refinery with carbon-negative RNG, as well as Irving Oil’s other operations such as Delivered Natural Gas.
The RNG, which is made from organic matter instead of fossil fuels, will be produced at Anaergia’s Rhode Island Bioenergy Facility, where food waste and other organic wastes that would otherwise have been landfilled, are transformed into renewable fuel. About 350 million cubic feet of RNG will be supplied annually from Anaergia Inc. into the regional pipeline where it will reduce the need for conventional natural gas supply to Irving Oil’s operations, including the Saint John refinery in New Brunswick.
Proposed Calgary Energy Park to be ‘Largest’ Carbon Negative Renewable Biofuels Facility in Continent
Calgary is a step closer to getting a new “energy park” in the southeast industrial area.
“It will be North America’s largest carbon-negative renewable natural gas and ethanol project. It is a renewable biofuels facility,” Mayor Jyoti Gondek told reporters Tuesday. “It is part of the clean energy solution that we continue to advocate for as a council.”
Sioux Center Looks to Local Dairy Farms for Renewable Energy
Sioux Center is looking to local dairy farmers to help supplement the town’s natural gas supply.
The northwest Iowa town will construct a pipeline from surrounding dairy farms to bring in renewable energy from a new source: cow manure.
The manure from three different dairy farms will be put into digesters, which break down the waste and create natural gas. Once scrubbed and monitored, the gas will then be pumped directly to the town’s distribution system and sold to Sioux Center.
Iowa State University Builds Innovative Public Private Partnerships for a More Sustainable Future
As one of the nation’s first land grant institutions, Iowa State University has embraced the land-grant mission of access, practical education and shared knowledge for more than 150 years. It brings that mission to modern agriculture with a unique approach to public-private partnerships, where some of the leading names in modern agriculture work with world-class faculty, researchers and students to solve some of the most pressing challenges for our planet and growing global population.
One of the university’s most prominent examples of a successful collaboration is its 25-year relationship with industry leader Deere & Company, which brings its own 186-year legacy of serving farmers around the world. The multi-dimensional partnership includes ongoing research collaborations and interactions with ISU faculty members and a significant number of ISU interns and full-time employees hired by Deere each year. Deere also participates in college and department advisory councils.
