Clean Energy Begins Producing RNG at East Valley Cattle, One of the Largest Dairies in the Country

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. completed its eighth dairy renewable natural gas (RNG) facility at East Valley Cattle in Jerome, Idaho.
The East Valley facility is one of the largest single-site dairies & RNG facilities in North America, housing over 35,000 cows.
Six anaerobic digesters capture methane from manure, processing over 5 million gallons of waste daily via advanced separation technology.
RNG production began in 2026, injecting negative carbon-intensity fuel into the interstate pipeline for transportation fleets.
The project generates Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) under the EPA's Renewable Fuel Standard & California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits.
Operations are financed through CE bp Renew Co, a joint venture between Clean Energy & bp.
Byproducts from the process are reused onsite for livestock bedding & crop fertilizer.
Agriculture accounts for nearly 10% of U.S. GHG emissions, while transportation accounts for 28%, according to the EPA.
RNG is projected to cost significantly less than diesel at the pump while offering a negative carbon-intensity score.
