Held on July 27, 2023, Synthica St. Bernard will produce renewable natural gas (RNG) for injection into the local gas grid and is the first project of its kind for Hamilton RNG.

The anaerobic digestion (AD) plant is expected to be completed in late 2024 and will process approximately 190 000 tonnes per annum of food waste sourced from food manufacturers.

Once completed, the project will have the capacity to generate approximately 250 000 MMBTUs (million BTUs) of pipeline-quality RNG annually.

Using time-tested technology, anaerobic digesters allow for the transformation of food waste into renewable energy.

In recent years as the technology has evolved, advanced odor control and pretreatment options have become available that allow digesters to be compatible with more urban environments.

UGI continues to expand its opportunities in the RNG market while supporting its corporate sustainability commitments. Continuing to invest in renewable energy solutions is one of the ways that we fulfill our goal of providing safe, reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy solutions to customers and building a better future for our stakeholders, said Robert F. Beard, COO at UGI.

RNG projects reduce waste and long-term greenhouse gas emissions, while also increasing the use of renewable energy. GHI Energy, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of UGIES, will be the exclusive off-taker and marketer of the RNG.

This facility will process organic waste from the greater Cincinnati region that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill, or less sustainable disposal sites, and turn it into renewable natural gas. From the environmental benefits Synthica St. Bernard will bring to the greater Cincinnati area to the jobs this project will create and support, this project is a win for Hamilton RNG and the surrounding communities, said Sam Schutte, CEO at Synthica Energy.
