KEY DETAILS

The facility will process up to 75,000 tonnes of organic materials per year. It is expected to produce approximately 200,000 MMBtu of renewable natural gas (RNG) and generate around 8,000 tonnes of biochar annually. The project is expected to generate enough energy to power 2,700 average American homes year-round. Funding was provided by the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR), a grant from the Minnesota Department of Commerce, and funding for R&E’s access will be supported by the State of Minnesota through the State Competitiveness Fund Matching Funds program.
