RNG Offtake

Énergir, the largest gas utility in Quebec; term length of 20 years

The City of Lincoln’s landfill renewable natural gas (RNG) initiative is moving forward through a partnership originally awarded to Sparq Renewables, which has selected Viridi to deliver the RNG facility that will convert landfill methane into pipeline-quality, low-carbon natural gas.

ASSET HIGHLIGHTS

  • This 3,000 SCFM RNG facility at the City’s Bluff Road Landfill will convert landfill methane into pipeline-quality, low-carbon renewable natural gas.
  • RNG will be injected into the local pipeline network via Black Hills Energy Systems network, creating local energy benefits and improving regional fuel carbon intensity.
  • This project will support emissions reductions through methane capture and upgrading of methane that would otherwise be flared or released—turning an organic waste stream into a renewable energy resource.
  • Delivers meaningful local-scale energy production with a clear, community-relevant benefit with an equivalent energy output to heating 12,148 homes annually

The City of Lincoln’s public RFP set a clear bar—identify a qualified team that could finance, design, build, own, operate, and maintain a landfill gas-to-RNG facility and successfully market and monetize its output,” said Dan Crouse, CEO of Viridi. “Viridi’s strength is flexibility across business models and partnership structures. We can plug into the approach that best serves the City and the project, then execute with discipline—delivering a facility that performs, scales, and creates measurable environmental impact by displacing fossil natural gas with low-carbon RNG.
