DAN COUNTY, Wis. – Kwik Trip will become a major dispenser of national gas vehicle fuel on the Dane County’s biogas project, NGT News reports. The project, slated to go online later in 2019, will transform cow manure and trash into renewable fuel. That fuel will be injected into an interstate transmission pipeline, and in turn be sold to power fleets of compressed national gas (CNG) vehicles.
Kwik Trip will dispense the CNG fuel from the pipeline and offer it at Kwik Trip’s own CNG fueling stations across the Midwest. “Our project at the landfill will be a win for clean air, as well as Dane County taxpayers,” said Joe Parisi, executive with Dane County. “Dane County’s partnership with Kwik Trip will enable our region to reap the benefits of the renewable fuel generated at the landfill.”
The county’s landfill biogas project is forecast to renew 3 million gallons of fossil fuels in its first operational year. In addition, the project will essentially pay for itself within a few years of operation.
“Kwik Trip is proud to partner with Dane County and Bluesource on this progressive, innovative and collaborative sustainability initiative involving the transformation of the county’s landfill biogas into the development of renewable natural gas,” said David Ring, community relations manager at Kwik Trip. “We view this as a win-win partnership that will allow us to provide a cleaner fuel source for our customers and create a significant benefit for the environment in the form of reduced carbon emissions.”
