Sevana Bioenergy buys Rialto Bioenergy Facility

In California, Sevana Bioenergy, a leading developer and operator of large-scale renewable natural gas (RNG) facilities, recently announced the successful acquisition of the Rialto Bioenergy Facility located in Rialto, California.  

The Rialto Bioenergy Facility is the largest organic waste to energy facility in North America. The plant has a permitted capacity of 1,000 tons per day of a combination of food waste separated from municipal solid wastes, and municipal biosolids. The facility has a designed capacity to convert these organic waste streams into 1 million MMBtu per year of carbon negative RNG and valuable soil products. This amount of RNG displaces an equal amount of fossil based natural gas, which is the equivalent of the CO2 emissions from over 5.2 million gallons of diesel fuel consumed. Further GHG reduction is achieved because the facility recycles food waste that is otherwise sent to landfills where it generates methane and other greenhouse gases.
