OPAL Fuels and GFL Environmental Advance Growth Strategy with New RNG Projects in Alabama and Georgia

GFL · Price

Executive Summary

  • OPAL Fuels and GFL Environmental are advancing construction on two new RNG facilities in Alabama and Georgia, structured as a 50/50 joint venture.
  • The projects will deliver approximately 15 million GGEs of RNG supply capacity with a combined plant design capacity of nearly 2 million MMBTU.
  • OPAL Fuels will exclusively market and distribute the full output through its CNG/RNG network, targeting ~800 Class 8 heavy-duty tractors to support fleet decarbonization and capitalize on favorable economics versus diesel.

Key Details

  • Joint Venture Structure: 50% owned by OPAL Fuels (Nasdaq: OPAL) and 50% by GFL Environmental Inc. (NYSE: GFL/TSX: GFL).
  • Project Locations: Stones Throw Landfill in Tallapoosa County, Alabama, and Grady Road Landfill in Polk County, Georgia.
  • Capacity Metrics: Combined plant design capacity of nearly 2 million MMBTU; expected to supply approximately 15 million GGEs of RNG.
  • Commercial Agreement: OPAL Fuels has agreed to market and distribute the full output from both facilities through its expanding CNG/RNG dispensing network.
  • Target Market & Volume: Fuel designed for approximately 800 Class 8 heavy-duty tractors.
  • Environmental & Economic Benefits: Provides zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, offers better economics than diesel, and supports accelerating heavy-duty trucking fleet conversions driven by volatile diesel pricing, regulatory clarity, and next-generation natural gas engine platforms.
  • Technology & Process: Utilizes proven technology to capture methane from the natural decomposition of organic material at both landfills and convert it into RNG.
  • Strategic Alignment: Advances OPAL Fuels' vertically integrated growth strategy (upstream production and downstream distribution) and supports GFL's GHG reduction goals, including fueling its own CNG fleet with landfill gas.
