Clean Energy breaks ground at Texas RNG production facility

Clean Energy has broken ground on a renewable natural gas – RNG – production facility at South Fork Dairy in Dimmitt, TX. Home to a 16,000-cow herd, the facility will produce RNG, an ultra-clean transportation fuel that is made from organic waste and receives a negative carbon-intensity score. The construction of the digesters and processing plant is forecasted to cost approximately $85M and is expected to be completed in 2025. The South Fork Dairy facility is set to be one of the biggest RNG production developments in the country with an anticipated 2.6 million gallons of RNG to be produced annually once completed. All the RNG fuel produced at the site will make its way into Clean Energy’s nationwide network of stations. Agriculture accounts for nearly 10% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. RNG is a transportation fuel made entirely from organic waste and drastically reduces GHG emissions by an average of 300% versus diesel.
