Pennant Midstream, which operates wet and dry gas and natural gas liquid pipelines in Pennsylvania and Ohio, signed a series of agreements last year with a subsidiary of Australia-based Energy Developments (EDL) to accept delivery of renewable natural gas (RNG) into its natural gas gathering system.
Pennant will transport RNG from the Carbon Limestone Landfill near Youngstown, Ohio, to EDL’s downstream markets. The gas from the landfill is a byproduct of naturally decomposing materials. EDL will process and condition the gas at its largest North American RNG facility to meet Pennant’s gas quality requirements.
Gas will be transported starting in early 2023. The Pennant system will take up to 6,500 thousand cubic feet daily once fully operational.
“EDL has owned and operated an extensive portfolio of landfill gas to electricity plants across the United States since 1998; and in recent years, several large plants converting landfill gas to RNG,” James Harman, EDL CEO, said. “We are proud to leverage our waste to clean energy expertise through developments such as the Carbon Limestone RNG project and to assist one of our key customers with their goal of de-carbonizing through renewable gas supply.”
Accepting delivery of the RNG from the landfill will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 127,500 metric tons annually.
