Cowboy Clean Fuels (CCF) is driving a more circular energy future with its innovative Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage, plus Renewable Natural Gas (BiCRS+RNG) methodology. This groundbreaking framework provides a rigorous way to track a novel form of carbon removal.
This industry-first methodology is built on a process that combines biogenic methane production with the permanent storage of CO₂ in geological formations. It leverages existing energy infrastructure, giving a new life to legacy assets.
The BiCRS+RNG methodology introduces a verifiable pathway for high-integrity carbon removal credits, ensuring projects meet the highest standards. It enables the injection of biomass-derived feedstocks into geologic formations, supporting a process of microbial conversion to CO₂ and biomethane.
At the surface, biomethane is produced and delivered to end users as a clean, low-carbon renewable natural gas (RNG). CO₂ is permanently sequestered within the formation through a durable adsorption process, creating long-term and scalable geologic carbon storage. This entire approach embodies a circular flow of materials and energy.
This carbon removal technology unlocks new opportunities for climate-conscious industries to support decarbonization efforts. It does this by leveraging existing energy infrastructure, demonstrating a smart use of resources, for low-carbon fuel production.
EcoEngineers (Eco), a clean energy consulting firm, collaborated with CCF to develop this methodology. Eco helped ensure the BiCRS+RNG methodology adheres to the highest standards of scientific rigor, transparency, and sustainability.
Ryan Waddington, chairman and CEO of Cowboy Clean Fuels, stated, “The completion of the BiCRS+RNG methodology represents a major milestone in the evolution of engineered carbon removal and renewable energy production. This methodology enables shovel-ready projects to move forward with confidence, allowing our capital partners to invest with certainty in the Powder River Basin and beyond.” This step forward supports a more circular and sustainable energy landscape.
