Cayuga RNG recently entered into an agreement to develop its fifth project to produce renewable natural gas (RNG) in upstate New York.
Cayuga RNG will modify an existing anaerobic biogas facility to generate RNG at New Hope View Farms, a fifth-generation dairy farm in Homer, N.Y.
The project is expected to produce approximately 35 million cubic feet of RNG annually. The gas will be transported using a local natural gas pipeline that serves the regional distribution system.
GHI Energy will be the exclusive marketer.
“RNG continues to be a key platform for growth at UGI, and we are excited to partner with New Hope to expand our RNG business in New York, where we just celebrated our first project being placed in service last month,” Robert F. Beard, UGI Corp. executive vice president of natural gas, said.
The project is expected to be completed in the second half of 2024.
Cayuga RNG is a joint venture of UGI Energy Services, a subsidiary of UGI, and Global Common Ventures.
UGI is a distributor and marketer of energy products and services. Its subsidiaries operate natural gas and electric utilities in Pennsylvania.
Global Common Ventures designs, develops, owns, and operates various energy projects.
