Chevron and CalBio Complete RNG Facility for Biomethane Fuel Project
CalBioGas Hilmar LLC, a joint investment between Chevron USA Inc., a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation and California Bioenergy LLC (CalBio), Visalia, California, have announced they have completed the central processing facility for a dairy biomethane project in Merced County, California.
CalBio technology helps local dairy farmers capture methane from dairy manure in anaerobic digesters on their farms. As part of the joint investment, after the methane is captured, it is sent to the central processing facility where it is upgraded into renewable natural gas (RNG). The renewable natural gas is then injected into the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) pipeline where it is marketed as an alternative fuel for transportation.
