Clean Energy Fuels Corp has successfully completed its renewable natural gas (RNG) facility located at South Fork Dairy in Dimmitt, Texas.
The facility is now producing pipeline-quality RNG and has begun injecting into the interstate natural gas pipeline.
Now one of the largest RNG production plants in the country, South Fork is home to a herd of 16,000 dairy cows and has the capability to produce approximately 2.6 million gallons of low-carbon RNG annually.
The facility will process up to 300,000 gallons of dairy manure each day utilising the four anaerobic digesters on-site, along with manure processing and advanced gas conversion equipment.
The RNG produced is injected directly into an on-site gas line.
“The requirements to reach production and injecting milestones were extremely stringent and we are incredibly proud of the team for getting our seventh RNG facility online, on time and on budget. It’s no small feat,” said Clay Corbus, SVP at Clean Energy.
“The completion of the project at South Fork is particularly special because not only is it a major step forward in building our low-carbon RNG supply to ensure we have the volumes needed to meet the growing fleet demand, but we were able to work side-by-side with such a remarkable dairyman in Frank Brand.”
“Partnering with Clean Energy to build an RNG facility on the dairy has been a success for us,” said Frank Brand, owner of South Fork Dairy. “We’re processing our manure into useful bedding and producing clean, useful fuel for vehicles – it’s pretty amazing stuff. Being a part of something so circular that allows the dairy to reduce its emissions while providing an additional income stream is an added bonus.”
