It’s an exciting time for Mead & Hunt’s landfill gas-to-renewable natural gas (RNG) project in Manatee County, Florida! The project was recently featured in the 2026 USA Edition of BiogasWorld Magazine, and on October 9, we celebrated another major milestone by breaking ground and officially starting construction on the new RNG facility.
The magazine feature explores how an integrated approach to development, engineering, financing, construction, and operations turn landfill gas into a valuable local energy resource.
Operations are expected to begin in 2027. Each year, the facility is expected to produce enough renewable energy to power more than 4,500 Florida homes while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 22,000 to 24,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent annually.
Mead & Hunt is providing permitting, design, equipment procurement, and construction services for the biogas conditioning systems. We are proud to collaborate with Johnson Controls, Inc. and Nopetro Energy to bring the project to life.
The article takes a closer look at the collaborative approach behind the project and how existing landfill infrastructure is being used to create long-term environmental and economic value.
