Clean Energy continues to make significant investments in the production of additional renewable natural gas sources. The joint ventures with two of the most sustainability-committed global energy companies, TotalEnergies and bp, allows for the necessary capital to partner with dairy owners around the country.
Construction of the renewable natural gas digester at Del Rio Dairy in Friona, TX is near completion, with commissioning of biomethane flow expected to begin in Q4 2022. When operational, the manure from 7,500 milking cows will produce more than a million gallons of biomethane a year.
Significant engineering and development progress has been made at South Fork Dairy in Hart County, TX. When complete, the project will produce an anticipated 2.9 million gallons of renewable natural gas.
Construction is nearing completion at Marshall Ridge, Drumgoon and Victory dairy farms, located in South Dakota and Iowa. With more than 30,000 cows, these dairies have the estimated potential to convert the methane produced from waste into more than seven million gallons of biomethane annually.
Clean Energy has also broken ground on two additional projects—Ash Grove Dairy in Minnesota and Tri-Cross Dairy in South Dakota.
At Millenkamp Dairy in Idaho, one of the largest in the country, construction is continuing with the completion of the digester tank slated for early-2023.
“We continue to make great progress on our renewable natural gas supply goals that we stated at the beginning of the year,” said Clay Corbus, senior vice president and head of renewable fuels. “Dairy owners are looking for a partner that can give them a known market as they develop their renewable natural gas supply, and no other company can do that like Clean Energy.”
