FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SJI and REV LNG Break Ground on Four
Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Facilities in Michigan
FOLSOM, NJ December 20, 2021 – SJI (NYSE:SJI)
remains committed to advancing its infrastructure to meet the clean
energy needs of the future. Consistent with this commitment, last
week, SJI and development partner, REV LNG, LLC broke ground on
renewable natural gas (RNG) facilities at four Michigan-based dairy
farms, marking the partners’ first series of renewable energy
projects to break ground outside of the Northeast region.
The projects will include constructing 2M gallon anaerobic
digesters and related RNG facilities to capture methane produced by
cow manure at each of the four farms: Double Eagle, Roto-Z, Goma
and Z-Star. The projects will also entail implementing equipment
that cleans the digester-produced biogas, transforming it into
commercial-grade pipeline-quality renewable natural gas. REV LNG, a
leader in developing RNG projects throughout North America, has led
early-stage development for SJI and will preside over the
construction of the RNG facilities, expected to be operational by
late 2022.
“REV LNG is committed to implementing creative energy solutions
that help our company and the clients we serve to reduce our carbon
footprints,” said David Kailbourne, CEO, REV LNG. “I am thrilled to
see these projects break ground and look forward to REV LNG and
SJI’s continued partnership in this area of interest. In addition,
I’d like to thank the families at Double Eagle, Roto-Z, Goma and
Z-Star farms for bringing these projects to life.”
Together, the four sustainable, family-owned farms will help to
produce nearly 3M therms of RNG per year. To put this into
perspective, 3M therms of RNG is enough to offset the negative
environmental impact of 1.8M gallons of gasoline consumed per year
within the United States.
These projects fall on the heels of SJI and REV LNG’s recent
announcement to begin construction on an RNG facility at Oakridge
Dairy, Connecticut’s largest dairy farm. Because of SJI and REV
LNG’s continued partnership in this area of strategic importance,
SJI is positioned well to become a national leader in
waste-to-energy projects by 2025.
“SJI recognizes that in order to achieve our goal of 100 percent
carbon reduction by 2040, working collaboratively with
organizations that share our same mission is critical,” said Mike
Renna, President and CEO, SJI. “With that, SJI is proud to partner
with REV LNG and dairy farms across the nation on these innovative
clean energy projects that I am confident will result in positive
environmental outcomes for the regions we serve and beyond.”
