A major energy and agriculture project is getting underway in central Nebraska. […] U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts said the project brings together two industries that already play a major role in Nebraska’s economy.
Manure from one of Nebraska’s largest cattle-feeding operations will soon be used to produce renewable natural gas as Adams Land & Cattle breaks ground on a $300 million project south of Broken Bow.
Shiny shovels tossed dirt Wednesday afternoon south of Broken Bow as Adams Land & Cattle (ALCC) and Neogenyx Fuels officially broke ground on a renewable natural gas facility that will turn one of the feedlot’s most abundant byproducts into a source of energy, fertilizer and economic opportunity.
A major Nebraska cattle operation is taking a new step into renewable energy, with plans to turn manure into renewable natural gas.
A first-of-its-kind renewable natural gas facility under construction in central Nebraska will convert cattle manure into pipeline-quality natural gas from the poop produced by a huge feedlot.
A large cattle feedlot in central Nebraska’s Custer County is being rebuilt to turn manure into natural gas. Construction equipment dumps, grades, and compacts concrete at the Adams Land and Cattle Company feedlot outside Broken Bow on a warm spring afternoon.
Neogenyx Fuels launched in May 2026 as a 70/30 joint-venture project between Ameresco and HASI. The spin-off company is built with Ameresco’s legacy biofuels business and a $400 million capital commitment from HASI. Neogenyx CEO Mike Bakas joins hosts Hill Vaden and Sam Humphreys to discuss the evolution of Ameresco’s RNG business and how its partnership with HASI will help scale increased production of green molecules.
What does it take to build a billion-dollar biofuels company from inside one of energy’s most durable entrepreneurial firms? Michael Bakas has spent 25 years at Ameresco — and now he’s leading Neogenyx Fuels, a new $1.8 billion joint venture with HASI. Elisa Wood of Energy Changemakers gets the full story: the cocktail-napkin founding of Ameresco, the dual energy crisis (geopolitics + AI demand), and why RNG’s global moment has arrived.
The new company will be majority owned by Ameresco. The fresh infusion of capital will allow a biogas developer with a long history in the industry to more aggressively pursue its project pipeline.
