Pipeline-Bound RNG Production Facility Construction Kicks Off in New Jersey
(P&GJ) — South Jersey Industries (SJI), OPAL Fuels Inc., and Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA) have announced that construction has commenced on a new RNG production facility (Atlantic RNG) located at ACUA’s solid waste landfill in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey.
The fuel will be injected into the South Jersey Gas pipeline making this project the first of its kind in the gas company’s history.
In conjunction with OPAL Fuels, SJI is developing the Atlantic RNG facility through its rapidly expanding subsidiary SJI Renewable Energy Ventures (SJI Renewables), which specializes in developing waste to energy projects throughout North America.
As part of its commitment to provide safe, reliable, affordable energy solutions, South Jersey Gas, an SJI subsidiary, will enter into an interconnection agreement to accept the RNG produced by Atlantic RNG. This initiative supports the circular economy model of production and consumption which reuses and recycles waste into the energy we use every day.
Atlantic RNG, which is expected to be operational in mid-2025, represents the first collaboration between the companies as part of their previously announced 50/50 joint venture to develop, construct, own and operate RNG facilities.
RNG or biomethane is produced from a variety of sustainable biomass sources. Once processed, it is interchangeable as a carbon-neutral substitute for traditional natural gas and can be fed through the existing South Jersey Gas natural gas infrastructure without disturbing the distribution network already in place.
A ceremony to celebrate the commencement of construction of the Atlantic RNG project is expected in the fourth quarter of 2023. A media advisory with details will be distributed closer to the event.
