Clean Energy’s RNG production facility at Minnesota dairy goes online

Clean Energy has completed its latest renewable natural gas – RNG – production facility at Ash Grove Dairy in Lake Benton, MN. Now producing pipeline quality RNG and injecting it into the interstate natural gas pipeline grid, the facility is projected to supply up to 480,000 gasoline gallon equivalent of negative carbon-intensity RNG annually when at full capacity and will provide Clean Energy’s stations with clean-burning fuel for its commercial transportation fleet customers. Ash Grove Dairy is a multigenerational dairy farm home to more than 2,000 milking cows which produce milk, cheese, yoghurt and now clean RNG. The freestanding one-digester facility will process up to 60,000 gallons of manure each day, capture its harmful methane and prevent it from entering the atmosphere. This biogas will be converted into an estimated 165 MMBtus of RNG every day. Clean Energy is in the process of filing the applications to generate federal and state environmental credits.
