Brightmark, Chevron achieve first delivery of
renewable natural gas produced at the Athena Project, part of their
previously announced partnership to own project companies across
the U.S. to produce and market RNG
Brightmark RNG Holdings LLC – a joint venture partnership
between Chevron U.S.A. Inc., a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation
(NYSE: CVX), and Brightmark Fund Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of
Brightmark LLC, the global waste solutions provider – delivered
first gas at its Athena Project in Minnehaha County, South Dakota.
The project is comprised of three farms located in Minnehaha
County: Boadwine Farms, Pioneer Dairy, and Mooody Dairy. The
project is part of the previously announced partnership to own
project companies across the United States to produce and market
dairy biomethane, a renewable natural gas (RNG).

Methane generated by the manure from the Athena Project is
expected to be captured, cleaned, and converted into RNG, which can
be used for transportation, cooking, or electricity. The gas is
anticipated to be injected into the local interstate pipeline
system statewide.
"Achieving first gas at the Athena Project marks another major
milestone as Brightmark continues to scale and expand our RNG
production footprint throughout the country," said Bob Powell,
founder and CEO of Brightmark. "Through our collaboration with
Chevron and Lynn Boadwine, owner of Boadwine Farms, Pioneer Dairy
and Mooody Dairy, we believe the Athena Project further
demonstrates the transformative economic and environmental benefits
of partnering with our country's essential farmers to reduce and
offset lifecycle carbon emissions."
“We are excited to achieve another milestone in our partnership
with Brightmark,” said Andy Walz, president of Chevron’s Americas
Fuels & Lubricants. “These renewable natural gas projects are
not only designed to capture methane that is currently emitted to
the atmosphere and repurpose it as a valuable transportation fuel
with lower lifecycle carbon intensity, but they also support our
commitment to meeting our customers’ growing demand for lower
carbon fuel solutions.”
“As agriculture and technology continue to advance and evolve,
it has become apparent now more than ever that these two industries
need to work hand in hand for the sake of our environment and those
that inhabit it,” said Lynn Boadwine, owner of Boadwine Farms,
Pioneer Dairy and Mooody Dairy. “It is truly an honor to be a part
of this collaborative effort with Brightmark and Chevron, and with
the achievement of first gas at the Athena Project, we believe we
are actively demonstrating the positive results that can be
produced by the coalescence of agriculture and scientific
innovation."
