Danish carbon capture and biogas upgrading technology provider Ammongas A/S, part of European Energy A/S has announced the successful installation of a biogas upgrading facility at Allen Farms, in the state of New York, United States (US).
This facility is the first in a series of four planned for development by Cayuga RNG Holdings, LLC, a joint venture of UGI Energy Services, LLC, a subsidiary of UGI Corporation (UGI), and Global Common Ventures, LLC, and represents a significant milestone in the production of biomethane aka renewable natural gas (RNG) in New York State.
The newly installed unit is capable of transforming waste from locally sourced agricultural residues into nearly 4 million Nm3 of RNG annually.
We have a goal of a more sustainable future, and this facility brings us a step closer to that goal. It is very rewarding to witness our technology provide renewable, efficient energy solutions to the local community, said Michael Pedersen, CEO of Ammongas.
The facility operates by purifying biogas — a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide (CO2) — sourced from the biogas plant.
Through an advanced process, it effectively removes CO2, ensuring the product is at least 98 percent pure biomethane.
This biomethane is then compressed, dried, and analyzed for purity before being supplied to the client.
US expansion
Ammongas is a part of European Energy and focuses on renewable energy solutions, with a particular emphasis on carbon capture and methane capture technologies.
Having recently expanded into the United States (US), Ammongas sees significant potential in this market and aims to leverage its extensive expertise from Denmark, where it has successfully completed over 50 plants.
European Energy has a development pipeline exceeding 65 GW in renewable energy. A key project is the world’s first large-scale commercial e-methanol facility, which is on track to begin supplying e-methanol to major corporations such as Maersk, Novo Nordisk, and The LEGO Group by 2024.
In the US, European Energy has established a strong foothold, developing over 3 GW of solar and storage projects, in addition to a 150 MW e-methanol plant with secured CO2 capacity.
