Brightmark RNG Holdings LLC announced that it has delivered first gas at 10 renewable natural gas (RNG) projects across the Midwest. Brightmark RNG Holdings LLC is a joint venture between Chevron U.S.A. Inc., a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation, and Brightmark Fund Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of Brightmark LLC.
With the announcement, the Brightmark RNG Holdings LLC joint venture owns and operates 15 RNG projects in the Midwest, a region that generates nearly 43 percent of the nation’s agricultural products.
This milestone makes Brightmark one of the leading dairy RNG providers in the United States. To date, Brightmark has reduced emissions by more than 1.2 million tons of CO₂eq through its RNG circularity centers, equivalent to the amount of carbon sequestered by planting and growing nearly 20 million trees for 10 years.
Brightmark’s process for reducing methane emissions involves collaborating with farmers to produce RNG through anaerobic digestion. This process collects organic waste, digests it to extract methane, and upgrades it into RNG for use as transportation fuel.
