First agricultural RNG project for Neogenyx Fuels will convert livestock manure into pipeline-quality renewable natural gas while supporting economic development

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. & BROKEN BOW, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading energy infrastructure company, today announced the groundbreaking of a natural gas facility being developed by Ameresco through its subsidiary Neogenyx Fuels at the Adams Land & Cattle feedlot in Broken Bow, Nebraska.

Neogenyx Fuels and Adams Land & Cattle are joined by Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts, and industry leaders during the ceremonial groundbreaking of a renewable natural gas facility in Broken Bow, Nebraska.

The August 26, 2026 ceremony brought together agricultural, energy, government, and community leaders to recognize the start of construction on Neogenyx Fuels' first agricultural RNG facility and highlights the growing role renewable fuels can play in supporting agriculture, domestic energy production, and economic development.

The groundbreaking drew strong attendance and featured remarks from Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts, Neogenyx Fuels CEO Michael Bakas, Adams Land & Cattle CEO Abram Babcock, and American Biogas Council Vice President of Policy Heather Dziedzic. The event concluded with an official groundbreaking ceremony and tour of the future facility site.

The Neogenyx Fuels-owned facility is designed to capture manure from the feedlot and convert it into renewable natural gas through eight anaerobic digesters capable of generating more than 4,400 SCFM of biogas. Once upgraded to pipeline-quality RNG, the facility is expected to produce approximately 1.2 million MMBtu annually for transportation and other energy applications. Process byproducts will be beneficially reused onsite as livestock bedding and agricultural fertilizer. The project is also expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 63,700 metric tons annually, equivalent to the carbon sequestered by roughly 63,800 acres of U.S. forest each year.

“Last week's groundbreaking demonstrated what's possible when agriculture, innovation, and energy infrastructure come together,” said Leila Dillon, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Ameresco. “The Adams Land & Cattle project is not only transformational for the operation and the broader agricultural sector, but it also provides a blueprint for how American agriculture can play a larger role in the global energy economy.”

“The Adams Land & Cattle RNG facility demonstrates how American agriculture can play an important role in the future of renewable fuels,” said Michael Bakas, CEO of Neogenyx Fuels. “By converting livestock waste into renewable natural gas with the potential to support bio-LNG production for global maritime markets, this project connects Nebraska to the growing demand for lower-carbon energy solutions across the world while driving private investment, job creation and local economic growth.”

“Innovation has always been part of who we are at Adams Land & Cattle. This project reflects our commitment to finding better ways to operate, support our local farmers and strengthen the community we call home,” said Abram Babcock, CEO of Adams Land & Cattle, LLC. “Through our partnership with Neogenyx Fuels, we are converting a resource we have always managed into pipeline-quality renewable natural gas, while creating a more consistent fertilizer product for local agriculture. It is an important step in advancing our sustainability goals and supporting our vision of building a business for generations to come.”

Key Terms

renewable natural gas technical

Renewable natural gas is methane captured from organic waste—like landfills, farms, or wastewater—and cleaned to the same quality as conventional pipeline gas so it can be used for heating, electricity, or vehicle fuel. Investors care because it turns waste into a revenue-generating commodity, can qualify for carbon credits or government incentives, and can reduce a company's emissions profile, affecting long-term costs, regulatory risk, and market demand much like converting trash into sellable fuel.

anaerobic digesters technical

Anaerobic digesters are sealed systems where microbes break down organic material such as food waste, manure or crop residues without oxygen, producing biogas (mainly methane) and a nutrient-rich residue. They matter to investors because they convert waste into sellable energy and fertilizer, lower disposal costs and emissions, and can provide steady revenue from electricity or fuel sales, renewable credits, and byproduct markets — like turning trash into a small power plant and fertilizer source.

scfm technical

scfm stands for standard cubic feet per minute, a measure of how much gas flows past a point each minute after adjusting for a fixed set of temperature and pressure conditions. It matters to investors because equipment, production capacity, and contract terms for gas, compressors, or medical oxygen are often specified in scfm; like knowing how many gallons per minute a water pump can deliver, scfm tells you how much usable gas a system can supply under standardized conditions.

mmbtu technical

A MMBtu is a unit of energy equal to one million British thermal units, commonly used to measure natural gas and other fuel quantities for trading and contracts. For investors, it translates raw energy into a standardized price metric—think of it like gallons for gasoline—so changes in the MMBtu price affect producer revenues, utility costs, commodity derivatives, and the profitability of energy-related investments.

bio-lng technical

Bio-LNG is liquefied natural gas produced from renewable biological sources such as agricultural waste, landfill gas, or sewage rather than fossil fuels; think of it as cold, bottled renewable gas made from organic leftovers. It matters to investors because it can command premium pricing or policy support as a lower-carbon fuel for heavy transport and shipping, influences demand for storage and refueling infrastructure, and is sensitive to environmental regulations and subsidies that affect future cash flows.
