TotalEnergies has started work on the Oakmulgee Dairy Farm renewable natural gas (RNG) project in Amelia Court House, Virginia, with its joint venture partner and BlackRock-supported Vanguard Renewables.
The farm will produce more than 259,000 million British thermal units per year (MMBtu/y) of renewable gas through an anaerobic digester and divert more than 105,000 tons of food and beverage waste per year from landfill or incineration. The RNG produced at the farm will fuel AstraZeneca's Maryland biopharmaceutical production facilities.
OPAL Fuels Begins Commercial Operations of its Polk County Florida RNG Project
OPAL Fuels Inc. today announced the start of commercial operations at its renewable natural gas (RNG) facility at the Polk County municipal landfill in Jones Corner, Florida, marking the company’s eleventh operational RNG project and second facility in the state. Owned and operated by Polk County’s municipal government, the landfill is now providing biogas to OPAL’s RNG project which is producing and injecting pipeline-quality RNG.
With a nameplate design capacity of approximately 1.1 million MMBtu (8.5 million gasoline gallon equivalents) of RNG per year, the product RNG will be primarily used to replace diesel transportation fuel to lower fleet operating costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions resulting in a significant impact on public health and the environment. This reduction is equivalent to achieving zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from over 900 heavy-duty trucks.

To Support California Farms, State Regulators Need To Stay the Course on This Climate Program
California’s farm families are really good at innovating to solve problems. I am proud to be a part of it.
I was born in the Central Valley and raised by immigrant parents. My work started when I was just a child helping my father, a farm manager, with odd jobs on the farm where he worked and where my family lived. Today, I am a farm manager at Bar 20 Dairy in Fresno County, where I have worked for the past 16 years.

Rivian: The Low Carbon Fuel Standard Energizes California’s EV Future
California is recognized the world over for its innovative spirit. So, it’s no surprise our state is playing a critical role in transitioning to cleaner, better transportation options like electric vehicles (EVs). The growth in sales of EVs over the last decade has been remarkable. EVs now make up nearly a quarter of all vehicles sold in California. The state’s ambitions and openness to new technologies are just a couple of the reasons why Rivian decided to put its headquarters right here in Orange County.
The EV landscape has never been more competitive, with newcomers like us and traditional car manufacturers producing a wide range of EVs. Importantly, this competitive market also ensures that the best vehicles will succeed. As a company, we support robust competition because we stand behind the quality and innovation that goes into making our products.

Tourmaline and Clean Energy Building CNG Stations Across Western Canadian Highways
Natural gas producer, Tourmaline Oil Corp. (TSX: TOU) and Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE) announced the opening of two new compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations in Alberta, marking a key milestone in their continuing efforts to build Western Canada’s first commercial-grade public CNG fueling network.
The new locations in Calgary and Grande Prairie, along with the Edmonton station which opened in April 2023, establish a crucial transportation corridor for trucking companies converting their fleets from diesel to CNG. Once complete, the 20-station network could fuel up to 3,000 natural gas-powered trucks daily. Construction on the next CNG fueling station is set to begin in Kamloops, with Fort McMurray and Fort St. John to follow.
Vanguard Renewables Breaks Ground on Virginia RNG Project
TotalEnergies (Paris) announced that it has broken ground on the Oakmulgee Dairy Farm renewable natural gas (RNG) project in Amelia Court House, Virginia, with its joint venture partner Vanguard Renewables, a portfolio company of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), a part of BlackRock.
The Oakmulgee Dairy Farm will produce more than 259,000 million British thermal units per year (MMBtu/y) of renewable gas through an anaerobic digester and divert more than 105,000 tons of food and beverage waste per year from landfill or incineration. The RNG produced at Oakmulgee will fuel AstraZeneca’s Maryland biopharmaceutical production facilities.
Lawmakers Introduce Bill To Extend Clean Fuel Production Act
Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10), alongside Reps. Dan Kildee (MI-08) and Julia Brownley (CA-26), introduced the Expanding Clean Fuel Production Act, which seeks to extend the Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit (CFPC) by an additional ten years, pushing its expiration to 2037. The bill aims to bolster investments in clean fuel production technologies, particularly Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector.
The current CFPC, established under the Inflation Reduction Act, is set to expire at the end of 2027. By extending the credit, the legislation would provide long-term certainty for biofuel producers, spurring continued innovation and investment in the U.S. renewable fuels sector.
