Neogenyx Fuels begins construction on renewable natural gas facility in Nebraska

Neogenyx Fuels has commenced construction on a renewable natural gas facility at the Adams Land & Cattle feedlot in Broken Bow, Nebraska, marking the company's first agricultural RNG project.

The facility will use eight anaerobic digesters to process manure and generate more than 4,400 standard cubic feet per minute of biogas. The biogas will be upgraded to produce approximately 1.2 million MMBtu per year of pipeline-quality renewable natural gas for injection into the local natural gas system.

The project is expected to avoid approximately 63,700 metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually. Digestate byproducts from the anaerobic digestion process will be reused onsite as livestock bedding and agricultural fertilizer.

"This project represents a milestone in the industry and an exciting chapter for Neogenyx Fuels," said Michael Bakas, CEO of Neogenyx Fuels. "The Adams feedlot RNG facility is a beacon, showcasing how advanced biofuels can provide tremendous investments in rural communities, create job growth, and position agriculture as the next major domestic export engine."

Abram Babcock, CEO at Adams Land & Cattle, said the facility allows the company to build on its operations while delivering environmental and economic benefits.

With this project, Neogenyx Fuels' non-electric project portfolio represents more than 13.2 million MMBtu per year of capacity. Neogenyx Fuels is a joint venture between Ameresco (NYSE: AMRC) and HASI (NYSE: HASI).
