AMP Americas and Fair Oaks Farms open CNG I65/I75 Corridor in Indiana

“AMP Americas produces biogas from dairy cattle waste and after cleaning and odorizing this gas, pipes the resulting renewable natural gas directly to the Fair Oaks Station for onsite use as CNG vehicle fuel,” said Mark Stoermann, Project Director. “The anaerobic digester is so big, the energy it produces also powers a 1 megawatt generator for the cleaning process and dairies’ electrical needs.”

Fair Oaks Dairy’s renewable natural gas station fuels 42 trucks that transport milk to processing plants owned by Kroger Co. in Indianapolis (Indiana), Murfreesboro (Tennessee), and Winchester (Kentucky). Returning from the southern Indiana and Northern Kentucky deliveries, fleets fuel at the sister station in Sellersburg.

The Indiana Office of Energy Development in partnership with the Greater Indiana Clean Cities contributed $750,000 toward the R-CNG Station at Fair Oaks Dairy. These funds were from the U.S. Department of Energy Clean Cities Program American Recovery and Reinvestment Act competitive award of $10,125,000.

AMP Americas also plans to open more CNG filling stations in other states where the I-65/I-75 corridor runs through.
