Cincinnati-based Synthica Energy has broken ground on a new Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Plant in San Antonio.
Dozens of regional business leaders and VIPs joined Synthica co-founders Grant Gibson and Sam Schutte to put the first shovels in the ground on a project that is expected to be completed in 2026.
Located at 4318 N IH 35 in Bexar County, the facility will be the first of its kind in San Antonio and is expected to divert nearly 250,000 tons of waste from local landfills each year.
Food and beverage manufacturers and other customers will have less distance to transport their waste, lowering costs and cutting down on emissions.
By sensibly and sustainably disposing of organic byproducts, the anaerobic digestion facility will create RNG while removing thousands of tons of CO2 and methane from the atmosphere.
"Synthica Energy is redefining organic waste management, and the benefits are clear – environmental stewardship, community investment, job creation, and more," said Grant Gibson, co-founder and chief development officer of Synthica Energy. "We’re building a national platform that’s fusing new technology with environmental consciousness and sustainability, and creating a mutually beneficial opportunity for the markets we’re serving."
"We are thrilled to welcome Synthica Energy to San Antonio as they break ground on their innovative Renewable Natural Gas facility," said Sarah Carabias Rush, chief economic development officer, greater:SATX.
"This expansion represents a significant step forward in our region's commitment to job - producing sustainable development investments.
"Synthica's state-of-the-art facility will be the first of its kind in Greater San Antonio, showcasing our region's dedication to embracing cutting-edge technologies that benefit both our economy and our environment. We look forward to the positive impact this project will have on our community and are excited to support Synthica as they establish their operations here."
