Construction Begins on City of Longmont Project

The City of Longmont has begun construction on its Biogas Treatment and Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Fueling Station Project. Once complete, this project will transform sewage gas from the wastewater-treatment process into sustainable fuel for the City's trash trucks.

The City will replace 11 of its diesel trash trucks with trucks capable of using RNG fuel. It is estimated that the City will offset over 100,000 gal of diesel fuel annually, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by about 1,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents per year — the equivalent of removing 200 cars from the road. In addition, by building the RNG Fueling Station, the City is also able to take advantage of valuable credits from the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Renewable Fuel Standard program.
