Plant back into the Antrim to enhance the recovery of methane and sequester CO 2

What ’ s different is that Riverside is including a CCS component to these projects so that CO₂ from the biogas is not vented but rather captured and geologically stored .
“ Moreover , in Q1 2025 , Riverside will start up CO 2 capture facilities at the major gas processing plants . This captured CO 2 will be geologically stored under Class II permits into Niagaran reef structures for permanent geological sequestration and enhanced oil recovery ( EOR ).”
Rob expands further : “ We see these initiatives as the real growth drivers for the company well into the next decade . We want to be a CCS partner and solutions provider for large-scale carbon emitters across Michigan and a key developer and infrastructure partner for the production of RNG from landfills and other biomass sources .”
Another key pillar of Riverside is the safety of its valued workforce . By bringing several of its 66
