OPAL Fuels, a prominent producer of renewable natural gas (RNG), and GFL Environmental, a major environmental services company, are progressing with the construction of two new RNG facilities located at the Stones Throw Landfill in Tallapoosa County, Alabama, and the Grady Road Landfill in Polk County, Georgia. Together, these projects are expected to add approximately 15 million gasoline gallon equivalents (GGEs) of RNG supply capacity, translating to nearly 2 million MMBTU of plant design capacity. The RNG produced will be used to fuel around 800 Class 8 heavy-duty tractors, offering a more economical and environmentally friendly alternative to diesel fuel, with zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. OPAL Fuels will oversee the marketing and distribution of the RNG output, enhancing its strategy to drive profitable growth in both production and distribution sectors. GFL’s CEO Patrick Dovigi emphasized that these projects align with their greenhouse gas reduction goals and promise stable returns. The facilities will utilize advanced technology to capture methane from organic decomposition at the landfills and convert it into RNG, contributing to the decarbonization of the transportation sector.
