OPAL Fuels Inc. has commenced construction of its fully-owned new landfill gas-to-renewable natural gas (RNG) facility located in Clara County, California, according to a Nov. 6 press release.
The project, located at the Kirby Canyon Landfill, plans to capture biogas produced naturally from decomposed materials at the landfill. The materials will then be converted into RNG, which OPAL touted as a low-cost transportation fuel.
The facility has an initial annual design capacity of about 0.66 MMBtu.
Approximately 5.1 million gas gallons equivalent of RNG can be produced annually from the facility, which the company will distribute via its fueling station network to heavy-duty trucks running on natural gas instead of diesel.
OPAL said the project will help lower emissions from, and reduce fuel costs for, these fleets.
The project is OPAL’s 17th RNG project and its first in California, co-CEO Jonathan Maurer said in the press release.
