Northwest Natural Gas begins RNG production at second Tyson Foods facility

NW Natural Holding subsidiary NW Natural and BioCarbN, a developer and operator of environmental infrastructure projects, began production at a second renewable natural gas – RNG – facility, as part of a project partnership with Tyson Foods. The facility is located in Dakota City, Nebraska, with NW Natural investing approximately $12M to convert methane captured from the facility’s operations into RNG to heat homes and businesses. The first project began at Tyson’s Lexington, Nebraska operations in January 2022. At full capacity, the two projects combined are expected to produce about 240,000 MMBtu of RNG each year.
