Re-MOO-able energy: Brookings facility using natural gas from cattle manure is first of several planned by Northwestern Energy
A new facility sending renewable natural gas made from dairy cattle manure to local energy customers could be the first of several such plants, a utility company said Monday while celebrating Earth Day.
The utility company, NorthWestern Energy, provides electricity or natural gas to about 775,300 customers in South Dakota, Montana and Nebraska. A ceremonial valve turning was held Monday at the company’s injection site, which provides enough natural gas for about 10,000 residential customers annually in the immediate region, according to NorthWestern Energy CEO Brian Bird.
“We’re planning to add about five more of these projects by 2025, allowing us to serve about two-thirds of our South Dakota customers,” he said.
