November 1, 2024. Chesapeake Utilities Corporation held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday, Oct. 28, to mark the official completion of its renewable natural gas (RNG) facility at Full Circle Dairy (FCD) in Lee, Florida. The facility, a full-scale dairy manure-to-pipeline-quality RNG operation expected to produce an average of 100,000 dekatherms annually, represents a capital investment of $22 million. The facility began producing RNG in June 2024 and is expected to capture and redirect more than 1,100 metric tons of methane per year into a renewable energy source — an emission reduction equivalent to powering 3,500 homes for a year. "The RNG facility at FCD is a great example of our ability to leverage our expertise across the entire energy delivery value chain — from production to virtual pipeline transportation, injection, transmission and distribution – while supporting our strategic focus on prudent capital deployment," said Jeff Householder, Board Chair, President and CEO.
