Chevron Allies With Brightmark for Dairy Biomethane Project
Read MoreHide Full Article
A unit of Chevron (CVX - Free Report) announced a partnership with the waste management firm, Brightmark Energy, to manufacture and market dairy biomethane, which is a type of a renewable natural gas (“RNG”), containing methane emissions. The drive comes as fossil-fuel manufacturers are under intense pressure to lower greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate climate change.
The joint venture will provide funds for the infrastructural developments and commercial transactions of dairy biomethane projects in multiple states of the United States. Chevron will purchase the natural gas produced from these projects to market as transportation fuel. The natural gas is made from emissions from cattle burps.
