Washington State Port Nabs $1.5 Million Grant for Fuel Project
The municipal Port of Walla Walla in southeast Washington secured a $1.5 million state grant for Amsterdam-based SkyNRG to annually produce 50 million gallons of sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel near a multimodal freight network.
SkyNRG selected the industrial park as the site for its manufacturing facility due to its proximity to Washington airports and the surrounding West Coast markets, where it sees potential for rising demand across the transportation industry for alternative fuels to help reduce carbon emissions. The facility will produce SAF and renewable diesel using feedstocks such as renewable natural gas.
New Illinois Facility Sets Benchmark in Landfill Gas to Renewable Natural Gas Conversion
A significant advancement in landfill gas to renewable natural gas conversion technology has emerged with the opening of a new renewable natural gas (RNG) facility at the Roxana Landfill in Edwardsville, Illinois. The facility, developed through a joint venture between Ameresco Inc. and Republic Services, represents one of North America’s largest landfill gas to renewable natural gas conversion projects, with an annual production capacity of 1.4 trillion British thermal units of renewable natural gas.
City of Pasco, Burnham RNG and Partners Celebrate Water Recovery and Renewable Energy Facility
The City of Pasco (WA), Burnham RNG, and project partners Biogas Engineering, Cascade Natural Gas, Gross-Wen Technologies, Sustainable Energy Ventures, Swinerton Energy, and Xylem are celebrating the groundbreaking expansion of the Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF) and Pasco Resource Recovery Center (PRRC) —with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11 a.m. on March 22, 2025.
This innovative facility transforms process water from seven local food processing plants into multiple beneficial resources. Through a unique combination of processes, the PRRC generates renewable natural gas (RNG), nutrient-rich soil amendments, algae for use in bioproducts, and returns clean water to be used for agricultural irrigation, all while reducing environmental impact.
$20 Million RNG Facility Proposed at Ellisburg Dairy Farm
A Rochester, NY area company plans to build a $20 million anaerobic digester facility that will turn manure from a local dairy farm into renewable natural gas.
Plans call for trucking the livestock manure from the farm a short distance away from the digester site, he said. The digester will then generate methane gas and then go through a cleaning process before renewable energy will be transported by compressed natural gas trailers to a pipeline in Ontario County.
TotalEnergies Starts Its 8th Biomethane Production Unit in France
TotalEnergies has commissioned BioNorrois, its 8th biomethane production unit in France, located in Fontaine-le-Dun (Normandy). It will inject 153 GWh of biomethane per year into the natural gas transport network operated by NaTran, equivalent to the average annual gas consumption of more than 30,000 inhabitants.
Roeslein Renewables Earns International Renewable Energy Certification
Roeslein Renewables has been awarded ISCC PLUS and ISCC EU certifications for biomass feedstocks used in renewable natural gas (RNG) production. This is the first ISCC certification for biomass-based crop residues, including cover crops, processed for clean-burning RNG.
The certification represents a critical step in expanding market access for U.S.-produced RNG in fast-growing international renewable energy markets. It also opens new revenue opportunities and supports rural and agricultural economies.
Divert, Inc. Celebrates Milestone with Turlock, California Facility Opening
Divert, Inc., a sustainable solutions company committed to solving the wasted food crisis and advancing a circular economy, announced the opening of its Integrated Diversion & Energy Facility in Turlock, California, the first-of-its-kind for the state in accelerating progress against the wasted food crisis. The new facility marks a significant milestone in the company’s robust expansion roadmap to scale its sustainable infrastructure solutions to 30 facilities across the U.S. by 2031.
Vision RNG Announces 25 Year Gas Agreement with Greenwood County South Carolina Landfill
Vision RNG has announced a long-term gas rights agreement to purchase raw landfill gas (LFG) from the Greenwood County South Carolina landfill located in Greenwood South Carolina. The agreement could be as long as 25 years. A natural byproduct of decomposing landfill waste, LFG is typically collected and flared to burn off the methane it contains as required by regulators. However, collecting and converting the methane present in LFG into a cleaner, renewable fuel is intended to serve as a solution to reduce the need for combustion of new fossil fuels.
Clean Energy & Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts Open Expanded Renewable Natural Gas Station in Carson
Clean Energy announced the opening of a newly expanded renewable natural gas (RNG) fueling station in the City of Carson. Designed, constructed and operated by Clean Energy, this station is owned by Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (Districts) and will provide clean RNG fuel to the public as well as Districts’ vehicles, local public transit buses, waste haulers and medium to heavy-duty trucks.
Waga Energy Launches New Project in Quebec
Waga Energy and the RMR, owner and operator of the Hébertville-Station landfill serving 50 municipalities in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region and the Mashteuiatsh community, are partnering to launch an RNG production project.
As part of the project, Waga Energy will construct and operate a purification unit, using its patented WAGABOX® technology, to convert landfill gas into RNG, a renewable substitute for fossil-based natural gas. The facility is expected to produce up to 55 GWh of RNG per year (188, 000 MMBtu) —enough to meet the energy needs of 2,280 households. By avoiding the release of roughly 10,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent annually, the project will help reduce the region’s carbon footprint and advance Québec’s climate goals.
