Key Takeaways
- Neogenyx Fuels has commenced construction on its first agricultural RNG facility at the Adams Land & Cattle feedlot in Broken Bow, Nebraska, using anaerobic digestion to convert manure into pipeline-quality renewable natural gas.
- The facility will utilise eight anaerobic digesters to generate over 4,400 SCFM of biogas, upgraded into approximately 1.2 million MMBtu/year of pipeline-quality RNG for low-carbon transportation fuel and additional energy applications.
- The project is expected to avoid up to ~63,700 metric tons of CO₂ annually — equivalent to the carbon sequestered by roughly 63,800 acres of US forest for one year.
- Digestate byproducts from the digestion process will be reused onsite as livestock bedding and agricultural fertiliser, closing the nutrient loop at the feedlot.
- With the addition of this project, Neogenyx Fuels' non-electric portfolio now represents more than 13.2 million MMBtu per year of total capacity.
Neogenyx Fuels Breaks Ground on First Agricultural RNG Facility in Nebraska
Neogenyx Fuels has announced the start of construction on its first agricultural renewable natural gas facility, located at the Adams Land & Cattle feedlot in Broken Bow, Nebraska. The project will capture and process manure through anaerobic digestion to produce biogas, which will then be upgraded to pipeline-quality RNG for use as a low-carbon transportation fuel and for broader energy applications. Digestate byproducts — including solids and liquids — will be reused onsite as livestock bedding and agricultural fertiliser.
Facility Specifications: Eight Digesters, 1.2 Million MMBtu/Year
The Neogenyx Fuels-owned facility will deploy eight anaerobic digesters capable of generating more than 4,400 standard cubic feet per minute of biogas. That output will be upgraded into approximately 1.2 million MMBtu per year of pipeline-quality RNG and injected into the local natural gas distribution system. The facility is projected to avoid up to approximately 63,700 metric tons of CO₂ annually — an amount equivalent to the carbon sequestered by around 63,800 acres of US forest over one year.
“The Adams feedlot RNG facility is a beacon, showcasing how advanced biofuels can provide tremendous investments in rural communities, create job growth, and position agriculture as the next major domestic export engine,” said Michael Bakas, CEO of Neogenyx Fuels.
A Locally Rooted Partnership with Adams Land & Cattle
The project is developed in partnership with Adams Land & Cattle, LLC, one of the largest cattle feeding operations in the United States. The collaboration demonstrates how established agricultural businesses can integrate clean energy infrastructure into existing operations while generating long-term environmental and economic benefits for surrounding rural communities.
“This facility allows us to build on our day-to-day operations while delivering environmental and economic benefits close to home,” said Abram Babcock, CEO of Adams Land & Cattle.
The Nebraska project marks another step in Neogenyx Fuels' expanding portfolio of advanced renewable fuel infrastructure, with the company's total non-electric project capacity now exceeding 13.2 million MMBtu per year.
