OPAL Fuels Begins Commercial Operations of its Polk County Florida RNG Project
31 Oktober 2024 - 1:00PM
Business Wire
OPAL Fuels Inc. (Nasdaq: OPAL) today announced the start of
commercial operations at its renewable natural gas (RNG) facility
at the Polk County municipal landfill in Jones Corner, Florida,
marking the company’s eleventh operational RNG project and second
facility in the state. Owned and operated by Polk County’s
municipal government, the landfill is now providing biogas to
OPAL’s RNG project which is producing and injecting
pipeline-quality RNG.
With a nameplate design capacity of approximately 1.1 million
MMBtu (8.5 million gasoline gallon equivalents) of RNG per year,
the product RNG will be primarily used to replace diesel
transportation fuel to lower fleet operating costs and reduce
greenhouse gas emissions resulting in a significant impact on
public health and the environment. This reduction is equivalent to
achieving zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from over 900
heavy-duty trucks.
The commercial operations of OPAL’s Polk County RNG facility
represents a significant step forward for OPAL Fuels' mission of
providing “Cleaner, Cheaper, Now” fuel solutions. This initiative
is crucial in promoting sustainable energy solutions that benefit
both the environment and the economy.
“Polk County’s partnership with OPAL Fuels demonstrates our
commitment to Polk County’s residents,” said Polk County Board
Chairman Bill Braswell. “Polk County is leveraging the by-product
of waste breakdown and, at the same time, reducing greenhouse gas
emissions. With the plant OPAL Fuels has constructed, landfill
biogas will be turned into renewable natural gas, which can be used
for fuel to power waste trucks, and provide energy for homes, and
businesses. This is a win-win for taxpayers and the
environment.”
“Polk County represents our eleventh operational RNG project and
our third to commence commercial operations this year,” said Adam
Comora, co-CEO of OPAL Fuels. “Including Polk County and our recent
announcement with GFL at the Sapphire project, we have
approximately 8.8 million MMBtu of annual nameplate design capacity
in operation, up 5.0 million MMBtu since becoming a public company
in 2022.”
“We’re pleased with the progress we’ve made as the largest
publicly traded integrated RNG operator in North America. We
continue to execute on our strategic objectives, moving RNG
projects forward from construction into operation while growing our
fueling station business and expanding our integrated footprint,”
continued Comora.
