RNG Energy Solutions LLC, a Hampton-based developer of energy infrastructure projects, has announced the recent completion of the development phase of the Linden Renewable Energy Project, an organic waste anaerobic digester project in Linden, N.J.
RNG said it has secured all required city, county and state permits needed to start construction. The project will be constructed on a 21-acre site that is located in a heavily industrialized area on Tremley Point Road.
The project has also received approval from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority for $214 million in industrial development revenue bonds, and is working with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., which is serving as bond underwriter.
James Potter, president of RNG, said the project will use proven advanced anaerobic digesters to convert organic waste into biomethane, which will be upgraded to pipeline quality standards. The renewable natural gas, or RNG, will then be directed via an interconnection to Elizabethtown Gas, located near the project site.
The project is designed to receive up to 1,400 tons per day of diverted organic waste, which it will process into 3,300 dekatherms per day of renewable natural gas, Potter said — the energy equivalent of 28,400 gallons of gasoline each day. The project will also produce 260 cubic yards per day of a high value soil amendment material.
The LRE project design is a collaborative effort of RNG Energy, SUEZ Water Technologies & Solutions and Phoenix Power Group.
