Bio Town Biogas, which closed in Q3 2021, sources food waste, dairy manure, beef manure, and other agriculture waste to produce renewable electricity, renewable heat, and renewable natural gas. The Project is UGE’s first equity investment in a series of similar renewable natural gas projects involving Green Rock. UGE brings to Green Rock value-added renewable energy services and products.

“UGE’s commercial role with the Project highlights the strategic importance of a partnership with a long-standing, successful natural gas trading company” said Andy Kelleher, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Green Rock. “Berrick Energy provides Green Rock a competitive advantage through linking sustainable fuel production to UET’s many end use customers.”

Notably, for this Project and the series of associated planned projects, Berrick Energy will be conducting the majority of the commercial renewable natural gas offtake activities including gas injection, storage, and sales. This approach optimizes sustainable fuel projects’ value by leveraging and aligning UET’s decades of success in logistics and natural gas trading with deployment of additional project capital.

“With its own production of renewable energy credits from ownership stakes in production facilities along with access to additional supplies, UGE is in an enviable position to provide ESG services to its many natural gas end users “, stated Thomas Williams, Executive Chairman and EVP of Business Development. “This partnership is a natural complement to UGE’s mature carbon credit business which has been operating successfully since 2014.”

This investment and future planned offtake activities are just one component of a comprehensive array of initiatives that UGE has planned, including advancing the supply of Responsibly Sourced Gas (RSG), low CI RNG, intermediate CI RNG, generation of carbon credits through range management improvements, and Landfill Gas (LFG). Aiming to neutralize and mitigate the carbon footprint of UGE’s customers, UGE launched its carbon offset program in 2014, connecting individuals and businesses to Green-e certified renewable energy credits.

Taken together, today’s announced partnership with Green Rock, along with the additional array of UGE’s green initiatives, comprise a full suite of ESG products and services designed to ensure attainment of the sustainability goals of UET’s numerous and long-standing end use customers.

Press release

Berrick Energy, LLC, a Green-E Certified company and physical supplier of carbon neutral gas, is proud to partner with Pierce Transit, which has embraced the clean air benefits of compressed natural gas (CNG) for more than 35 years and has been recognized by the Department of Energy’s Clean Cities program for its commitment to using cleaner, alternative fuels. Today, 80 percent of Pierce Transit buses operate on CNG, 13 percent are hybrid-electric, 5 percent are battery electric and just 2 percent are diesel. While operating the majority of its buses on CNG offers environmental benefits over traditional fuels, there is still an environmental impact. Transitioning its CNG fleet to this new fuel source means 80 percent of Pierce Transit’s buses will be running on certifiably carbon neutral RSG. By using carbon neutral RSG, Pierce Transit’s carbon reduction will equal a reduction of 101,370 pounds of coal burned or 230,496 miles driven by an average car each year.

Responsibly Sourced Gas is natural gas that Project Canary, an independent evaluator, has verified as meeting the highest standards and practices to minimize its environmental footprint through the Project Canary TrustWell RSG certification. PureWest’s Platinum Certified “TrustWell” RSG involves a rigorous audit and field evaluation by Project Canary of PureWest’s stewardship with respect to air, land, water and the community, including safety practices, and the continuous and independent monitoring of methane emissions at the well pads. Berrick Energy will physically deliver PureWest’s market-leading clean natural gas to Pierce Transit to help meet the transportation and sustainability goals of Washington State’s second largest county. Purchase of the RSG has been bundled with high-quality, certified and registered offset credits for the remainder of the carbon emissions.

“Berrick Energy is committed to providing Pierce Transit with renewable energy options. Doing things sustainably is not new to us. Our years of experience across the energy spectrum has guided our success in the clean energy space. Today, Berrick Energy is proud to be a disruptive leader in the new energy frontier. Since 2021, Berrick Energy has been a carbon footprint offset company, running 100 percent of our business on renewable energy, and we want to help our customers manage their emissions as well. Through diligent logistics and ecological carbon management programs, we are committed to making the world a better place.” said Thomas Smith, President of UET.

“This unique partnership further accelerates our commitment to being an industry leader in delivering lower carbon energy solutions,” said PureWest CEO Chris Valdez. “We look forward to supporting Pierce Transit’s sustainability goals and ensuring the cleanest and most reliable natural gas is available to drive progress.”

Last quarter, PureWest received a platinum rating for 90 of its wells on two pads through the independent evaluation company, Project Canary. Through its comprehensive evaluation of PureWest’s operations, Project Canary found that PureWest represents their “best-in-class” tier, which comprises the top 10% of peers. PureWest also received the “Low-methane Verified Attribute Rating” on the certified wells and conducts continuous and independent monitoring of methane emissions at the well pads. PureWest’s 2020 methane intensity rate was 0.04% based on data reported to EPA, which was reduced from 0.12% as reported in 2019. PureWest, Wyoming’s top natural gas producer, plans to certify an additional 779 wells on 38 pads by the end of 2021. Robust and defensible carbon offsets have been procured to cover the remaining scope 1 and 2 emissions. “Pierce Transit is thrilled to be a national leader in the transit industry by transporting our customers using carbon neutral, responsibly sourced, natural gas fuel,” said Pierce Transit CEO Mike Griffus. “Our agreement with Berrick Energy and PureWest enables Pierce Transit to balance the needs of our customers with a responsible, lower-carbon energy supply.”

Uplift Energy Strategy and Berrick Energy served as brokers to secure Pierce Transit’s purchase of PureWest’s RSG.

• PESCO’s Florida retail operations will be sold to Gas South LLC.
• PESCO’s other non-Florida retail operations and contracts were sold to Berrick Energy, LLC (UET).
• PESCO’s Mid-Atlantic wholesale contracts and Chesapeake Utilities’ Delaware division, Maryland division and Sandpiper Energy Asset Management agreements were sold to NJR Energy Services Company (NJRES).
  The Company expects to recognize a gain from the sale of the assets in 2019 upon the closing of the transactions. More information will be provided in the Company’s third quarter earnings press release and Form 10-Q report as well as subsequent filings.

“After performing a strategic review of the PESCO business unit, we determined that our efforts should be focused on the strategies that support our core energy delivery businesses. The level of investment in infrastructure required to achieve the scale needed for future growth meant that PESCO would not achieve the target returns we expect,” noted Jeff Householder, President and CEO of Chesapeake Utilities Corporation. “As a result, we made the decision to exit this business, and have done so in a way that reduces future volatility in our earnings, recovers our investment and improves our earnings outlook going forward.”

“Commitment to quality service, access to supply, and service offerings were the driving factors for the selected counterparties. We are working closely with Gas South, Berrick Energy, and NJRES to ensure each transaction is executed in an efficient manner with minimal impact to the respective customers,” added Bill Hancock, Assistant Vice President of PESCO. “We have one remaining small book of business, our Producer Services portfolio, which we are targeting to sell by the end of the year.”
