Aria Energy ribbon-cutting for renewable natural gas facility in Nebraska
Aria Energy, based in Michigan, recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its newest renewable natural gas (RNG) facility, located at the Waste Connections-owned Butler County Landfill in David City, Neb. The event was attended by Senator Deb Fischer, Lieutenant Governor Mike Foley, NEE Director Jim Macy, local officials, and representatives from Waste Connections, Black Hills Energy, and Aria Energy.
As of April 2019, there were 96 operating RNG projects and 61 RNG projects under construction or in advanced development. The RNG industry has grown rapidly in a short period of time, with significant further growth anticipated in the near term.
Aria Energy, which constructed the project, also owns and operates the facility, which processes and purifies up to 1,000 cubic feet per minute of landfill gas into pipeline-quality RNG. The RNG is transported to the interstate pipeline through Black Hills Energy’s distribution system and sold to Constellation, which will use it for customers’ natural gas vehicle fleets.
Use of RNG, a low-carbon fuel, results in approximately 70% lower greenhouse gas emissions than from equivalent gasoline or diesel fueled vehicles.
