It will take about two years to complete the renewable fuel project, which will capture gas created as a byproduct of the process used to break down raw sludge. The gas will be used in the city’s vehicle fleet or piped to a MidAmerican Energy or Northern Natural Gas pipeline for sale as renewable fuel.
