Clean Energy Fuels Corp. completes cutting-edge RNG facility in Iowa

With an anticipated annual output of 1.7 million gallons of low carbon-intensity RNG, this state-of-the-art facility represents a pivotal step towards cleaner transportation solutions. Developed at a total cost of $42 million through a strategic partnership with Dynamic Renewables, the project showcases Clean Energy's commitment to fostering eco-friendly practices.
At the heart of this endeavor lies the conversion of methane fr om the daily production of approximately 240,000 gallons of manure by an 8,000-cow herd. Through advanced processes, this methane is transformed into biogas, ready to power heavy-duty fleets nationwide. Not only does this initiative reduce harmful emissions, but it also unlocks a new revenue stream for forward-thinking farmers like Kevin Blood of Marshall Ridge Dairy.
Clay Corbus, senior vice president for renewables at Clean Energy, underscores the significance of collaboration in driving sustainable change. He emphasizes the role of RNG as an immediate and intelligent solution to combat fugitive emissions, thus contributing to the decarbonization of commercial transport.
For Blood and his team at Marshall Ridge Dairy, the RNG facility represents a transformative addition to their operations. Beyond its environmental benefits, it offers an opportunity to enhance manure management while bolstering the bottom line.
In a world wh ere agriculture and transportation are significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, the Marshall Ridge Dairy project sets a new standard for sustainability. By harnessing the power of RNG, Clean Energy Fuels Corp. is leading the charge towards a greener, more efficient future.
