~Greenlane chosen to supply the biogas
upgrading system for the first commercial-scale pipeline injection
renewable natural gas project in the Brazilian sugarcane
industry~
Greenlane Renewables Inc. (“Greenlane”) (TSXV: GRN / FSE:
52G) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Greenlane
Biogas North America Ltd., has signed a $2.4 million (US$1.8
million) contract with Grupo Cocal (“Cocal”), a Brazilian sugar
mill operator that refines sugar and produces ethanol biofuel from
sugarcane. Greenlane will supply its Pressure Swing Adsorption
(“PSA”) biogas upgrading system for this first-of-its-kind
renewable natural gas (“RNG”) project.
The Greenlane supplied system will process and upgrade biogas
created from the anaerobic decomposition of byproducts from Cocal’s
sugar refining and ethanol production process into clean RNG. The
RNG will be used, in part, to displace diesel fuel in Cocal’s
commercial operations and vehicle fleet and provide a clean
low-carbon supply of RNG for the local gas grid. This is expected
to be the first commercial-scale pipeline injection RNG project in
the Brazilian sugar cane industry.
Sugar cane refining and ethanol biofuel production have been a
major industry in Brazil since the 1970s. Ethanol biofuel
consumption in the transportation sector in Brazil exceeds gasoline
volumes. There are approximately 350 sugar mills across the country
engaged in the refining of sugar and production of ethanol biofuel,
which produces vast quantities of byproducts that are ideal
feedstocks for the production of RNG.
“Greenlane has long been committed to the Brazilian market and
proud to be the market leader,” said Brad Douville, President &
CEO of Greenlane. “This represents our fourth contract for the
supply of biogas upgrading equipment to customers in Brazil. We’re
excited to showcase our system, which is ideally suited for this
ground-breaking project, and to expand our relationship with Cocal.
The selection process Cocal ran was thorough and rigorous to ensure
the best possible system would be provided for their inaugural
commercial-scale RNG project. We look forward to helping make this
project a success.”
