The fuel will power heavy-duty trucks
Minnesota's first renewable natural gas plant is up and running at an Inver Grove Heights landfill, turning biogases produced by trash into fuel for heavy-duty vehicles.
New York-based OPAL Fuels built and operates the facility, while Republic Services, an Arizona-based company that owns Pine Bend Sanitary Landfill, leases out the land and supplies the biogas. The end product — renewable natural gas — then goes into Xcel Energy's gas pipeline.
"The fact that we can remove or basically eliminate 44,000 metric tons of carbon through this project … every year is very impactful to the communities where we live and work," said Tyler Kraft, general manager at Republic Services, which is involved in 77 similar projects nationally.
