November 12, 2025. Greenview Energy and Sparq Renewables have announced a joint venture to transform landfill gas from Reno County’s waste facility into renewable natural gas (RNG). Partnering with the county, this venture will capture methane, process it to pipeline-quality standards, and inject it into the local utility’s infrastructure to power homes and businesses. This project will improve air quality, create local jobs, and form a steady source of community revenue.
Operating under the name Meadowlark Renewables, this initiative is one of Kansas’ first rural public-private partnerships in waste and energy. Meadowlark builds on a working relationship with Reno County that began in 2020, with commissioners and staff helping clear the path on site planning and permitting.
Meadowlark is currently working to coordinate natural gas and electrical utility service with community partners Kansas Gas Service and Evergy. Construction is expected to be completed within 18 months, following completion of permitting and right-of-way agreements.
“This project shows how collaboration between public and private stakeholders can turn an environmental opportunity into an economic win,” says Casey Moye, CEO of Greenview Energy. “By converting waste into renewable fuel, we’re helping Reno County reduce emissions – improving local air quality and public health – while generating lasting value for the county. Greenview Energy is committed to growing all forms of clean energy solutions, and this milestone paves the way for future investments to benefit local communities across the nation.”
At full capacity, the Meadowlark Renewables facility will process more than 210,000 MMBtu of renewable gas annually – enough to power several thousand homes and deliver the same emissions reduction as over 11,000 acres of healthy forest land. In addition to reducing methane emissions, the partnership will provide the county with ongoing royalty revenue from gas sales to fund local areas of need and public-service improvements.
