Digester at Del Rio Dairy in Texas is
Producing Ultra-low Carbon RNG Available for Transportation
Market
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE) and TotalEnergies SE
(NYSE: TTE) announced that renewable natural gas (RNG) from Del Rio
Dairy in Friona, TX, began flowing in June to the transportation
market and recently began generating D3 renewable identification
numbers (RINs) credits under the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s (EPA) Renewable Fuel Standard, as well as credits through
Oregon’s low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) program. The RNG produced
at Del Rio Dairy and injected into the country’s natural gas
pipeline system represents a major milestone in Clean Energy’s
strategy to become the leader in both producing and selling a fuel
that is so clean, the California Air Resources Board gives it an
average carbon-intensity rating of -331.

“The demand for RNG is only increasing,” said Clay Corbus,
senior vice president of renewables at Clean Energy. “There is no
easier or immediate way for fleets to achieve their goals to reduce
carbon emissions than transitioning their trucks, buses, or other
large vehicles to RNG. Turning the challenge of managing manure at
large dairies like Del Rio Dairy into something so positive like an
ultra-low carbon fuel is a huge win for all parties.”
Clean Energy broke ground at the Del Rio Dairy biogas digester
in November 2021, completed construction in February 2023, and
stored the RNG produced until regulatory approval in June. Del Rio
Dairy is the first low carbon-intensity RNG project completed by
Clean Energy and was financed through a joint venture between Clean
Energy and TotalEnergies. The multi-generational, family-owned and
operated dairy has 7,500 milking cows.
Agriculture accounts for nearly 10 percent of U.S. greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions and the transportation sector accounts for
another 28%, according to the EPA. Capturing methane from farm
waste lowers these emissions. RNG, produced by that captured
methane and used as a transportation fuel, significantly lowers GHG
emissions on a lifecycle basis when compared to diesel. This allows
RNG to be one of the only fuels to receive a negative
carbon-intensity score based on the reduction of emissions at the
source and at the vehicle.
