Liberty (RNG) acquires Sandhill Advanced Biofuels

In Canada, Liberty (RNG), LLC announced the recent completion of its acquisition of Sandhill Advanced Biofuels, LLC. Sandhill is a developer of renewable natural gas anaerobic digestion projects located on dairy farms, with a portfolio of four projects in the state of Wisconsin. The completion of this acquisition represents the company’s first investment in non-regulated renewable natural gas.

Once all four projects are fully operational, they will sequester methane from dairy operations to produce an aggregate of ~500 MMBTU/day of RNG for the transportation sector. The farm-based biodigesters and upgrading systems use anaerobic digestions to produce negative carbon-intensity RNG which is injected into the natural gas pipeline system, displacing carbon-based natural gas. Additionally, the projects are expected to provide local farmers with ancillary revenue and support their efforts to optimize waste management and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Two of the sites are now fully operational with the other two anticipated to come online in 2023.
