Montauk Renewables has revealed plans to expand its presence into the South Carolina market with the development of a new landfill gas-to-renewable natural gas (RNG) facility. The project is anticipated to add approximately 900 MMBtu per day to the company's production capacity upon its completion, which is scheduled for mid-2024.

Sean McClain, President and CEO of Montauk Renewables, explained that the new RNG site in South Carolina demonstrates a rapidly changing industry landscape.

The development of this facility not only supports Montauk Renewables' growth strategy but also contributes to South Carolina's clean-energy goals. As the state seeks to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and transition toward more sustainable energy sources, the new RNG facility will provide a resource for meeting these objectives. The project is expected to create job opportunities and stimulate economic growth within the local community.
