BioEnergy Solutions at the World Ag Expo

TULARE, Calif. - BioEnergy Solutions announced that California's first biogas pipeline project using cow manure to create natural gas will begin final testing this week, with production of commercial grade renewable natural gas expected to begin in March.

The Bakersfield waste-to-energy company will capture methane at Vintage Dairy in western Fresno County and supply clean-burning natural gas to Pacific Gas and Electric Co. under a long-term contract approved by the California Public Utilities Commission.

"Ours is truly a landmark project, the first to receive state approval and the first to produce renewable natural gas," said David Albers, president of BioEnergy Solutions. "We've built a state-of-the-art biogas system that exceeds current regulatory standards and will serve as a model for similar projects throughout California."
