Vermont Renewable Gas Secures Environmental MOU for 2.2 MW Lyndon Project
Event summary
- Vermont Renewable Gas (VRG), a Clean Energy Technologies affiliate, signed an MOU with Vermont environmental regulators on May 6, 2026, advancing its 2.2 MW Lyndon renewable energy project.
- The agreement includes strict environmental conditions: air/water permit compliance, biochar testing, and sustainable feedstock sourcing.
- VRG committed to transparency, continuous monitoring, and community engagement as part of the deal.
- The MOU will support final regulatory approval through the Public Utility Commission's Certificate of Public Good proceeding.
The big picture
This agreement aligns with Vermont's leadership in environmental sustainability and local clean energy production. The project's focus on waste reduction and sustainable resource utilization reflects broader trends in decentralized renewable energy development. Success here could position CETY as a player in small-to-midsize biomass conversion projects, though regulatory and community hurdles remain critical.
