A new renewable natural gas (RNG) facility at the West Daviess County Landfill is now fully operational, marking the completion of the region鈥檚 first project to convert landfill gas emissions into clean, usable energy, according to local officials.
RPM Holdings 鈥� a joint venture between Redtail Renewables and Pacolet Milliken 鈥� officially celebrated the milestone with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday. The facility captures methane from decomposing waste, preventing it from entering the atmosphere, and converts it into renewable natural gas for use in transportation, utilities, and industrial applications.
鈥淭his project reflects the County鈥檚 commitment to recognizing and solving the problems of today while creating long-term solutions for a cleaner future,鈥� said Casey Holsapple, CEO of Redtail Renewables. 鈥淲e want to thank Daviess County for its forward-thinking leadership and willingness to tackle fugitive methane emissions.鈥�
