“The recycling and refuse industry has long embraced natural gas
to mitigate the impact of greenhouse gas emissions,” said Chad
Lindholm, senior vice president, Clean Energy. “Our CCRRA station
is one of the first on the East Coast to transition to RNG, and
will further our sustainability goal of providing RNG at all of our
stations by 2025.”
Clean Energy constructed the station, located at 100 Transfer
Road, which will provide fuel for both CCRRA vehicles and other
fleets, and is expected to dispense an estimated 500,000 gallons of
RNG annually. Switching the station from conventional natural gas
to RNG will reduce carbon emissions by 3,696 metric tons each year
– the equivalent of removing 803 passenger cars from the road,
recycling 1,484 tons of waste instead of landfilled, and planting
61,601 trees.
“As a refuse and recycling authority, we are constantly
promoting the benefits of a circular economy by purchasing products
generated from the materials we handle daily,” said CCRRA Executive
Director Ted Onufrak. “Migrating to RNG is just another example of
how closing the loop can be beneficial economically and
environmentally.
CCRRA also collaborated with the local WM affiliate to provide
RNG as fuel for eight new CNG tractor-trailer units hauling over
4,300 loads of waste annually. This will support WM in meeting its
goals of fleet conversion from diesel to RNG.
“WM is proud to work with the Centre County Recycling and Refuse
Authority and commends their transition to a cleaner, renewable
fleet with renewable natural gas,” said Christopher Pilzer,
director of sustainable growth, WM Capitol Area. “WM is committed
to the growth of our natural gas fleet and investing in renewable
energy through RNG. The Centre County RRA’s investment in an RNG
fueling station will help support our efforts locally.”
"The Borough of State College has a longstanding commitment to
sustainability, and we are continually seeking ways to reduce our
carbon footprint and to make our systems and operations more
efficient and sustainable. We commend sustainability efforts made
by our partners, and CCRRA's conversion to fleet fuels with lower
carbon emissions is an important step forward," said State College
Borough Mayor Ezra Nanes.
