LF Bioenergy Expands RNG Footprint, Reducing 60 Million Gasoline Miles in Environmental Impact
LF Bioenergy, a renewable natural gas (RNG) company that partners with farmers to capture methane and convert it into energy, has expanded its RNG project footprint with four operational facilities and two more under construction across the U.S.
These projects have collectively provided environmental benefits equivalent to reducing 60 million gasoline miles.
Rising costs on essential supplies like bedding and feed are pressuring farmers, but LF Bioenergy’s RNG projects offer them a new revenue stream. The company’s approach not only helps eliminate the need to dispose of cow manure but also improves soil and water quality, reduces odors, cuts costs on fertilizers and bedding, and significantly lowers greenhouse gas emissions for the natural gas pipeline.
"We attribute our success to our farmers-first values, and each farm partnership is a testament to that, as we reach 15 operational RNG projects by 2027 and beyond," said CEO Brent Lilienthal. "We have a robust and unmatched operational process, and at the core of every project is our respect for and relationship with the farmers. We founded the company with that in mind and created a model that doesn't require farmer investment up front because we want to demonstrate that their business and its success is our top priority."
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), methane is a potent greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential at least 28 times greater than carbon dioxide. By capturing and converting methane into RNG, LF Bioenergy significantly reduces methane emissions, with the RNG injected into the natural gas pipeline for use in various applications, such as thermal use and electricity generation. The company’s facilities are also contributing to the U.S. Dairy Net Zero Initiative.
LF Bioenergy also recently welcomed a new Commercial Vice President to its leadership team, bringing experience from U.S. dairy and agriculture, engineering, construction, and operations.
"We're hiring with our ethos in mind," Lilienthal added. "Our team brings deep experience spanning U.S. dairy and agriculture, operational safety, energy, utilities, and more. Relationships and collaboration are key to LF Bioenergy's success, and we're eager to continue fueling our business with that thinking."
