'This project is a great example of how innovative and sustainable resource management can benefit our entire community. Viridi, sponsored by Warburg Pincus and Green Rock Energy Partners, plans to produce RNG equal to more than three million gallons/year of gasoline, it noted. 'As stewards of our financial and natural resources, we are excited for what this project means for Marathon County,' said Kurt Gibbs, Chair of the Marathon County Board of Supervisors. Private equity-backed Viridi Energy has begun building a landfill renewable natural gas (RNG) project in Ringle, WI, in partnership with the Marathon County Solid Waste Department. 'In addition to the environmental impact, we are excited to support the local economy in Marathon County as we kick off operations in the community.' We are reducing greenhouse gas emissions at the county's landfill, converting that landfill gas into clean RNG, and replacing the need for fossil fuel-derived natural gas in the process,' said Viridi Chief Executive Officer Dan Crouse. 'As the transition away from fossil fuels accelerates, our Marathon County project showcases how waste-to-energy projects can be a win-win-win.

This project will have a direct, positive environmental impact on the surrounding community by reducing the need for on-site emissions mitigation through the conversion of naturally occurring landfill gas into clean RNG. For Marathon County, the partnership with Viridi is its latest sustainable infrastructure venture.
