The biomethane will be used to feed OPAL Fuels transportation customers at the company’s CNG stations via the Peoples Gas (Florida’s largest natural gas distribution utility) network. When used as a vehicle fuel to displace diesel, this biomethane will avoid GHG emissions equivalent to achieving zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from more than 380 heavy-duty trucks.
The new unit will join the two that Liberty RNG has operating in Wisconsin. These two Microbox-Bio units upgrade and compress biogas obtained from manure from two separate dairy farms.
