Synthica Energy & Clark Water Partner for RNG Facility in Rome

Caroline Raffetto

ROME, GEORGIA, Jan. 21, 2025 — Synthica Energy has announced a partnership with Clark Water to lead the construction of a new renewable natural gas (RNG) facility in Rome, Georgia. This state-of-the-art facility, set to open in 2026, will utilize anaerobic digestion technology to convert organic waste into pipeline-ready RNG, promoting sustainability by reducing landfill waste and fossil fuel reliance.

"We’re not just reducing waste – we’re building a cleaner, more resilient future," said Grant Gibson, co-founder and chief development officer of Synthica Energy. "Clark shares that vision, and we’re confident they will help us deliver on this incredible opportunity in Georgia."

The Rome facility will divert up to 250,000 tons of organic waste from local landfills annually. Covering 10 acres, the site will incorporate advanced waste treatment systems, including cutting-edge pre-processing and depackaging technology, as well as odor control and an on-site wastewater pre-treatment system.

"Synthica’s mission is to create environmental solutions that are both impactful and sustainable," Gibson added. "This facility will be a model for green energy production and waste diversion."

Once operational, the facility will process organic waste from a wide range of industries, including food and beverage manufacturing, producing renewable natural gas that will be distributed to local pipelines, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and helping meet clean energy goals.

“We are thrilled to partner with Synthica Energy on this transformative project,” said Brian Walker, senior vice president of Clark Water. “This facility will provide a sustainable solution to reduce waste and generate clean, renewable energy.”

Clark Water, a subsidiary of Clark Construction Group, specializes in delivering water and wastewater infrastructure projects. The company has extensive experience in constructing complex facilities and has been pivotal in bringing this RNG project to life. Recently, Clark Water completed an important milestone by pouring the first concrete foundation for the Rome facility, a significant step in the development process.

The facility will also contribute to local employment and economic development, creating jobs in construction, operations, and maintenance as it supports the area's growing interest in renewable energy and sustainability.

"Synthica’s RNG facilities are poised to revolutionize how we handle waste and produce energy in this country,” said Walker. "This project in Rome is just one piece of a broader movement toward more sustainable practices across the country."

In addition to its work in Rome, Synthica Energy is expanding its reach with projects underway in Cincinnati, Ohio, and San Antonio, Texas. These facilities, combined with the Rome facility, are part of Synthica’s broader vision to transform organic waste management and contribute to the nation's renewable energy goals.

Synthica is working with a network of manufacturers and distributors across Greater Atlanta, managing waste from industries ranging from food and beverage to beverage production byproducts, as well as expired or damaged produce and other organic materials.
