Renewable Natural Gas Fueling Station: Atlas ReFuel’s Sacramento Biorefinery No. 1

The purpose of this report is to document the implementation and results of the Sacramento Biorefinery No. 1 Renewable Compressed Natural Gas Fueling Station approved by the California Energy Commission in April 2012. The overarching goal of the project was to address the critical lack of infrastructure to support fleets that operate on CNG and, in particular, to demonstrate an integrated commercial-scale waste to energy facility that can successfully condition the resulting renewable natural gas (RNG) as a vehicle fuel that reliably meets all fuel and air quality specifications. The project received $300,000 in support from the California Energy Commission’s Clean Transportation Program. Awardee Atlas Disposal Industries (now Atlas ReFuel, a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlas Disposal Industries) with partners CleanWorld LLC, BioCNG LLC, and Clean Energy, LLC, designed and constructed a new Renewable Natural Gas and Compressed Natural Gas fueling station to support retail sales for natural gas fueled fleets of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles.
