Peaks Renewables Partners With Biogas Development to Expand Idaho Production

Peaks Renewables has teamed up with Biogas Development to enhance renewable gas production at the Hidden Hollow Energy Landfill Gas Project in Boise, Idaho.

Peaks is making a preferred equity investment to support ongoing growth and optimisation at the facility, which captures and converts landfill gas into renewable natural gas (RNG) for use across Idaho and surrounding regions.

The investment adds to Peaks Renewables’ expanding portfolio of renewable gas projects across the US, reflecting the company’s commitment to advancing reliable, sustainable energy through strategic partnerships.

The Hidden Hollow Energy Landfill Gas Project aims to increase distributed energy production, reduce emissions, drive local economic growth and strengthen energy reliability and resilience for Ada County.

Lizzy Reinholt, President of Peaks Renewables, said: “The Boise Landfill Gas Project is a model for how public and private partnerships can drive meaningful progress toward a cleaner energy future. This investment builds on our growing portfolio of renewable gas projects and demonstrates our commitment to transforming wasted resources into cutting-edge energy solutions that fuel communities and enhance resiliency.”

Ahren Tryon, CEO of Biogas Development, added: “Our Boise landfill project is the first of its kind in Idaho. Together with Peaks, we have the opportunity to continue expanding the facility—and the role of landfill gas in Idaho’s energy mix—while showing how strategic collaboration and long-term investment can drive innovation, reliability, and energy independence.”

The Hidden Hollow Energy Landfill Gas Project has been producing renewable natural gas since early 2025.

The facility captures methane from decomposing waste at the Ada County Landfill and upgrades it into pipeline-quality RNG, which is injected into the regional natural gas system.
