These include jobs in companies supplying goods and services to the industry. The biogas can be processed into RNG and used to fuel vehicles.The poultry industry in the United States employs as many as 374,063 people across the country and generates an additional 1,440,180 jobs in supplier and ancillary industries.
As one of the largest suppliers of RNG to the US transportation sector, this agreement will help us continue delivering competitive, reliable energy solutions.” Michael Thomas, vice president biogas origination, bpThomas Spangler, executive chairman, CleanBay Renewables: “By collaborating with bp, we continue taking steps to positively impact our environment. RNG-fueled vehicles are estimated to result in up to 95 percent lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than those fueled by gasoline or diesel on a lifecycle basis, according to a US Department of Energy study.“Working with innovative companies like CleanBay will be key for bp to reach our net zero ambition. There is strong demand for RNG fuel in the state due to incentives from its Low Carbon Fuel Standard. CleanBay’s approach builds on the sustainability efforts of the agriculture community by re-purposing poultry litter into RNG and a controlled-release fertilizer designed for optimized nutrient management.Through this agreement, bp’s trading and shipping team will sell the fuel to its customers, initially in California.
Each of the 30 proposed CleanBay facilities is expected to generate enough sustainable energy to power 9,200 cars per year by recycling more than 150,000 tons of poultry litter annually.CleanBay has incorporated measures to further reduce its carbon footprint, including co-located solar power fields to meet the onsite power needs and the production of alternative products like green hydrogen.Donal Buckley, CEO, CleanBay Renewables: “RNG is a necessary energy transition approach in the near-term, but green hydrogen and the use of RNG to power electric vehicle charging stations will be the backbone of a fast transition to a net zero future. Its goal is to establish a portfolio of RNG and power facilities that reduce local emissions and provide farmers with an alternative use for their poultry litter and a fertilizer to increase their food production. This agreement with bp directly supports the financing for its first active bio-conversion facility, planned in eastern Maryland.CleanBay is actively exploring sites for future facilities in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and California.
