Neogenyx Starts Construction on Nebraska RNG Facility

Neogenyx Fuels and Adams Land & Cattle have started construction on a Nebraska renewable natural gas facility that will convert cattle manure into pipeline-quality RNG.

(P&GJ) — Neogenyx Fuels and Adams Land & Cattle have begun construction on a renewable natural gas (RNG) facility at a cattle feedlot in Broken Bow, Nebraska, marking Neogenyx’s first agricultural RNG project.

The facility will process cattle manure through anaerobic digestion systems to produce biogas that will be upgraded into pipeline-quality renewable natural gas for transportation fuel and other energy uses.

According to the companies, the project will use eight anaerobic digesters capable of generating more than 4,400 standard cubic feet per minute of biogas. The facility is expected to produce about 1.2 million MMBtu of RNG annually for injection into the local natural gas system.

The companies said the project could reduce emissions by roughly 63,700 metric tons of CO₂ per year while also producing byproducts that can be reused onsite for livestock bedding and fertilizer applications.

Michael Bakas, CEO of Neogenyx Fuels, said the project represents the company’s entry into agricultural RNG development and highlights growing interest in renewable fuel production tied to rural infrastructure and agriculture.

Abram Babcock, CEO of Adams Land & Cattle, said the facility will allow the feedlot operation to participate in renewable energy development while generating local economic and environmental benefits.

Neogenyx said the Nebraska facility expands its broader renewable fuel portfolio, which now totals more than 13.2 million MMBtu per year of non-electric fuel production capacity.
