From Groundbreaking to Gas Flow in Just Over One Year
Benson Valley (LFG-to-RNG Facility), KY
Overview
Neogenyx Fuels developed, owns, and operates the Benson Valley Landfill RNG facility in Frankfort, Kentucky. The facility converts landfill biogas into pipeline-quality RNG, delivering a dependable, low-carbon energy source directly into the regional natural gas network serving Central Kentucky’s cities, counties, and businesses.
The Benson Valley RNG facility supports Republic Services’ longstanding sustainability commitment to beneficially reuse 50% more of their biogas by 2030. As the eighth renewable energy project in collaboration with Republic Services, it advances both environmental performance and dependable energy supply through proven infrastructure.
Solution & Benefits
The Benson Valley RNG facility converts source biogas – landfill gas – into a reliable, low-carbon fuel source that supports regional decarbonization efforts. The project includes advanced gas processing systems designed to remove moisture, harmful gases, and pollutants from raw biogas, producing pipeline-quality RNG that meets utility pipeline specifications.
Once upgraded, the RNG is compressed and sent to the natural gas utility for monitoring and metering before injection into the pipeline. The facility can process 2,000 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) of raw landfill gas and feed directly into a pipeline, injecting 460,000+ MMBtu of RNG into the commercial pipeline annually. The facility achieved commercial operation in August 2023 – just over one year after breaking ground in June 2022.
Beyond clean energy production, the Benson Valley RNG facility delivers meaningful environmental and community benefits, including:
- Generates a dependable, dispatchable renewable energy source for the Central Kentucky region
- Improved air quality
- Reduction of up to ~25,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually
- Emissions reductions equivalent to ~5,800 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for one year
- Direct support of Republic Services’ 2030 sustainability goals
