Canada-headed biogas upgrading technology providers Greenlane Renewables Inc. (Greenlane) has announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Greenlane Biogas North America Ltd, has signed with Green Impact Partners Inc., through its EPC contractor, a biogas upgrading system supply agreement worth US$4.8 million for a dairy farm renewable natural gas (RNG) project in Weld County, Colorado (CO).
Green Impact Partners’ GreenGas Colorado LLC project, which broke ground in July 2021, consists of two dairy farms in Weld County, CO, and has an expected completion date in the second half of 2022.
We’re excited to work with Green Impact Partners on its GreenGas Colorado project to showcase our market-leading biogas upgrading systems. RNG is a rapidly growing industry with new entrants and increasing amounts of project capital being deployed. Green Impact Partners is seizing this opportunity and making a difference as it strives to have a positive impact on the environment through its energy transition projects, said Brad Douville, President, and CEO of Greenlane.
The project will utilize two of Greenlane’s pressure swing adsorption (PSA) upgrading systems, one for each of the two dairy farms in the project. Greenlane’s order fulfillment for this project will commence immediately.
We selected Greenlane’s gas upgrading system for its ingenuity in its design and its commitment to quality. We look forward to working with Greenlane on this project and potentially many more. With this milestone now complete, we continue to focus on-site construction ensuring all civil work is done before the winter season with a commitment from our EPC contractor to have gas flowing in 2022, said Jesse Douglas, CEO, GIP.
Tap into LCFS market
According to Vancouver-based GIP, the GreenGas Colorado project has a total construction cost of approximately CA$76 million. The biomethane (aka renewable natural gas – RNG) will be directly connected to an existing gas pipeline infrastructure.
The project is expected to generate over 800 MMBtu per day of RNG and GIP intends to sell its credits into the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and Renewable Identification Number (RIN) markets through a long-term offtake agreement with a creditworthy counterparty.
With an anticipated carbon intensity (CI) score of approximately negative 200, the project optimizes value received under the LCFS and RIN markets and is fully aligned with GIP’s net-zero impact strategy.
With the increasing global need to transition to environmentally friendly alternatives to gas consumption, executing on our RNG projects is a key focus for us. This is one of North America’s strongest negative carbon impact projects and we’re excited to build, own and operate it for the long term, ended Jesse Douglas.
