In the United States (US), Clean Energy Fuels Corporation (Clean Energy) has announced that it has signed an agreement to construct a methane capture digester in Idaho (ID) at one of the largest dairy farms in the country.
Announced during an ‘RNG Day’ webcast on January 26, 2022, Clean Energy revealed that it has signed an agreement with Millenkamp Dairy in Jerome, Idaho (ID).
With carbon reduction of up to 500 percent, RNG is the epitome of renewable energy. It presents enormous potential in sustainable transportation, so we’re focused on a pathway to grow both the production and distribution of this negative carbon intensity fuel, said Andrew J. Littlefair, President and CEO, Clean Energy.
With around 100 000 head of cattle, Millenkamp is one of the largest dairy farms in the United States (US).
The project is expected to provide an anticipated five million (US) gallons of gasoline equivalents (GGE) annually (≈ 18.9 million litres) of very low carbon-intensity RNG annually which will flow into Clean Energy’s fueling network.
The Millenkamp project will be developed through Clean Energy’s joint venture with bp.
’A Legacy of Trust’ is our motto at Millenkamp and we’ve always held ourselves to the highest standard in how we manage our cattle and the dairy. Adding the ability to produce what can be millions of gallons of clean fuel reinforces our commitment to sustainability. As a family business, it’s extremely important to leave a better operation to the next generation and this new methane capture digester will move us towards that goal, said Bill Millenkamp, owner of the dairy.
