The Yuma Renewable Natural Gas Project
Sheldon Kye Energy initiated the Yuma RNG project in 2017 as a multi-dairy anaerobic digestion plant project. The plant site lies 6 miles south of Yuma Colorado and has access to local utilities and the high pressure interstate gas system. The project has been permitted by CDPHE and plans to start construction in the 2nd quarter of 2021. The project will have multiple revenue streams that include the LCFS credit market, the Renewable Fuel Standars RIN market, natural gas, commercial grade CO2, liquid soil amendment and a high grade compost suitable for animal bedding. The project site has been scaled for expansion and is in discussions with additional sources of feedstock in Yuma and surrounding counties. In addition, Sheldon Kye is actively pursuing another Biogas project in Fort Morgan area.
