Shell Downstream Bovarius, Biomethane Facility (Wendell, Idaho)

Shell is operating a dairy manure to renewable natural gas (RNG) facility which is co-located at the Bettencourt Dairies in Wendell, Idaho. Shell Downstream Bovarius is estimated to produce approximately 400,000 MMBtu a year of negative carbon intensity RNG using cow manure from the dairy.

RNG, or biomethane, is a pipeline-quality gas that is fully interchangeable with conventional natural gas and thus can be used in natural gas vehicles. The use of RNG in the form of compressed natural gas (R-CNG) can reduce CO2 emissions from around 50 percent to 100 percent compared to fossil fuels. Encouraged by government policies, demand for RNG is increasing in transport sectors such as road and marine. Establishing a business in the production and supply of RNG allows Shell to continue providing customers with the fuels they need, not only today but in the future.

Shell Downstream Bovarius is part of a broader portfolio of anaerobic digestion projects in the US supporting the use of low carbon intensity R-CNG for on-road transport.

Shell plans to construct, own, and operate its first renewable compressed natural gas (R-CNG) fueling site in the US at Shell’s products distribution complex in Carson, California. The R-CNG will come from Shell’s portfolio of anaerobic digestion projects, including Shell New Energies Junction City, Shell Downstream Galloway and Shell Downstream Bovarius.

High Plains Ponderosa Dairy, located in Plains, Kansas, milks its cows in a rotary barn, which is a large carousel much like a merry-go-round. The dairy is collaborating with Shell on a greenfield dairy manure to RNG project. Once operational Shell Downstream Galloway is expected to produce more than 500,000 MMBtu a year of negative carbon intensity RNG using cow manure from the dairy.
