TC Energy Corporation announced on October 17, 2022 a $29.3 million investment in a renewable natural gas (RNG) production facility near the Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, TN. Owned by Lynchburg Renewable Fuels LLC, the facility will produce RNG with a carbon intensity score that is 50% lower than traditional natural gas, saving up to 16,000 tonnes of CO2e/year. The project is being developed by 3 Rivers Energy Partners, LLC, also an owner in Lynchburg Renewable Fuels.

Once operational in 2024, a byproduct of the Jack Daniel's distilling process will be broken down to generate methane gases recovered as biogas. A biogas upgrade plant will remove contaminants to produce pipeline-quality RNG that will be directly connected to a local natural gas utility. Liquid fertilizer will also be produced in the process, processed, stored and distributed to meet local agriculture demand.

TC Energy will market 100% of the RNG production and environmental attributes, which include renewable identification numbers and low carbon fuel standards. TC Energy and 3 Rivers Energy Partners have also committed to jointly develop future RNG projects.
