WHAT:

On November 10, Paloma Dairy and OPAL Fuels will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the official start of operations of the Sunoma digester at Paloma Dairy. The digester converts methane emissions from cow manure into RNG, an inexpensive, cleaner burning diesel-fuel replacement for heavy-duty trucks. The facility, which will prevent 54,000 metric tons of carbon equivalent from entering the atmosphere annually and heating the planet, will also result in savings by heavy-duty trucking companies of nearly $4 million in fuel costs. The project employed more than 50 people in its construction. The event will feature remarks from representatives of Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly. Please join us!

WHEN:

• 9:00am - 10:00am MST
• Wednesday, Nov 10, 2021

WHERE:

• Paloma Dairy, 55310 S Citrus Valley Rd, Gila Bend, AZ 85337
