Brightmark RNG Holdings LLC (Brightmark) delivered first gas at 10 renewable natural gas (RNG) projects across the Midwest. Brightmark is a joint venture between Chevron USA Inc., a subsidiary of Chevron Corp., and Brightmark Fund Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of Brightmark LLC.
The joint venture now owns and operates 15 RNG projects in the Midwest, a region that generates nearly 43% of the nation’s agricultural products. This milestone makes Brightmark one of the largest RNG providers in the United States. To date, the company has reduced emissions by more than 1.2 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) through its RNG circularity centers.
Brightmark’s process for reducing methane emissions involves collaborating with farmers to produce RNG through anaerobic digestion. This process collects organic waste, digests it to extract methane, and upgrades it into RNG for use as transportation fuel.
