Waste management company CR&R Environmental has launched the first commercial-scale California operation to produce renewable natural gas (RNG) for injection into that state’s pipeline. And there are other “firsts” associated with the $55 million project.
Predominantly privately financed with some state funding, the Stanton, Calif.-based company’s project converts organic waste to biogas at its Perris, Calif., anaerobic digestion (AD) plant. The gas will be further refined and distributed through SoCalGas’ pipeline.
