We are reducing greenhouse gas emissions at the county’s landfill, converting that landfill gas into clean RNG, and replacing the need for fossil fuel-derived natural gas in the process,” said Viridi CEO Dan Crouse. “As the transition away from fossil fuels accelerates, our Marathon County project showcases how waste-to-energy projects can be a win-win-win. This project will have a direct, positive environmental impact on the surrounding community by reducing the need for on-site emissions mitigation through the conversion of naturally occurring landfill gas into clean RNG. Viridi will be converting a dormant biogas-to-energy project into a state-of-the-art RNG facility.įor Marathon County, the partnership with Viridi is its latest sustainable infrastructure venture. While the management team has developed more than a dozen landfill to RNG sites and has over 100 years of combined experience in the industry, this is one of the first landfill projects developed under the Viridi name, a company they launched last year with the backing of Warburg Pincus and Green Rock Energy Partners. The development creates a partnership between Viridi and Marathon County that will convert landfill gas into clean RNG, equal to more than 3 million gallons of gasoline annually. Viridi Energy, a leading renewable natural gas (RNG) platform, has begun construction on a landfill renewable natural gas project at the Marathon County Solid Waste Department’s landfill in Ringle, Wisconsin. Warburg Pincus previously invested around $320 million of equity in Viridi which has developed projects across the food waste, agricultural waste, and landfill gas sectors. Mettle Midstream Partners – backed by Pearl Energy and NGP – provides midstream infrastructure services to energy firms across North America.
