Chesapeake Utilities Begins Renewable Gas Injections in Florida
(P&GJ) — Chesapeake Utilities Corp. has started injecting renewable natural gas (RNG) at its Radio Avenue site in Yulee, Florida, sourced from its Full Circle Dairy facility in Madison County.
FPU Renewables, a subsidiary of Chesapeake Utilities, constructed and operates the RNG facility. The injections mark the commissioning phase of Chesapeake's first RNG project, which converts dairy manure to biogas at Full Circle Dairy. This month, the facility began producing and delivering RNG, with approximately 4,700 dekatherms transported to the injection site by Marlin Gas Services, another subsidiary.
“This RNG project builds on Chesapeake Utilities' strong foundation and operational excellence,” said Justin Stankiewicz, general manager. “It showcases our role in the RNG value chain, from production to transportation and distribution.”
Construction of the RNG facility began in February 2023, capturing methane from dairy cow manure. It is expected to produce 100,000 dekatherms annually, representing a $22 million investment. The facility aims to capture and redirect about 1,116 metric tons of methane per year, equivalent to 27,900 metric tons of carbon dioxide, reducing emissions comparable to removing over 6,000 gasoline-powered cars from the road for a year or the annual energy use of more than 3,500 homes.
The Yulee injection point, built in 2023, has been adapted to handle alternative fuels like RNG, supporting Nassau County's growing energy demand.
