Broken Bow feedlot set to host new renewable natural gas plant

BROKEN BOW, Neb. (AP) — Neogenyx Fuels, a developer, owner and operator of advanced fuel solutions, on Tuesday announced the construction of its first agricultural renewable natural gas (RNG) facility in Broken Bow, Nebraska.

According to Neogenyx, the facility, located at the Adams Land & Cattle feedlot, will capture and process manure via anaerobic digestion to produce biogas.

Officials said that biogas will then be upgraded to pipeline‑quality RNG. The RNG will be used as a low‑carbon transportation fuel and for additional energy applications.

“This project represents a milestone in the industry and an exciting chapter for Neogenyx Fuels,” CEO of Neogenyx, Michael Bakas, said in a press release. “The Adams feedlot RNG facility is a beacon, showcasing how advanced biofuels can provide tremendous investments in rural communities, create job growth, and position agriculture as the next major domestic export engine.”

Digestate byproducts generated through the process, including solids and liquids, will be reused onsite as livestock bedding and agricultural fertilizer, according to officials.

Neogenyx said the project supports decarbonization efforts and delivers meaningful economic and environmental benefits to the surrounding community.

“We’re proud to work alongside Neogenyx Fuels on a project that demonstrates how agricultural operations can play a meaningful role in advancing clean energy,” said Abram Babcock, CEO at Adams Land & Cattle, LLC. “This facility allows us to build on our day‑to‑day operations while delivering environmental and economic benefits close to home.”

By converting manure into a renewable energy source, the facility is expected to avoid around 63,700 metric tons of CO₂ annually, equivalent to the carbon trapped by around 63,800 acres of U.S. Forest for one year.
