Fortistar & Rumpke Waste & Recycling Renewable Natural Gas Project
Chesapeake Utilities Corporation’s subsidiary, Aspire Energy, is partnering with Fortistar and Rumpke Waste & Recycling, one of the nation’s largest private residential and commercial waste and recycling firms, on a transportation decarbonization project in Shiloh, Ohio.
The Noble Road Landfill Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) project captures and transports quantities of RNG equivalent to 6.9 million gasoline gallon equivalents (GGE) per year, enough to fuel 725 biofuel trucks.
Key Project Highlights
- The project includes the construction of a new state-of-the-art facility that utilizes advanced, patented technology to treat landfill gas by removing carbon dioxide and other components to purify the gas and produce pipeline quality RNG.
- Waste methane from the Noble Road landfill in Ohio is extracted, captured and transformed into RNG.
- The RNG is transported through Aspire Energy’s existing natural gas pipeline system to customers.
- The RNG volume represents nearly 10 percent of Aspire Energy’s entire system.
