COOPERSVILLE, Mich. (WOOD) — Multiple facilities are planned for West Michigan that would take biomethane from dairy farms and turn it into fuel.

Chevron Corporation is planning four facilities throughout West Michigan that would take the biomethane and turn it into renewable natural gas for transportation fuel. It’s planning on building the facilities in Greenville in Montcalm County, Hartford in Van Buren County, Orleans Township in Ionia County and Coopersville in Ottawa County.

The energy company also has a fifth location planned for Monrenci on the state’s east side.

BerQ has a similar project planned, with facilities planned for Schaendorf Dairy in Monterey Township near Allegan County’s Hopkins and VDS Farms in Wakeshma Township near Fulton in Kalamazoo County.

It’s also planning on building facilities at a Clare County dairy farm and a Clinton County farm.

Both projects would use anaerobic digesters, which turn animal waste into fuel. The fuel can then be used to fuel trucks, buses and other vehicles with compressed natural gas.

On Tuesday, the Michigan Strategic Fund board approved a financing plan that authorizes the companies to seek private activity bond financing to help cover the cost of the projects.

The BerQ plan allows for the issuance of up to $235 million in bonds to fund the four facilitates, while the Chevron plan allows for the issuance of up to $100 million in bonds to fund the five facilitates.
