On October 7, 2020, Brightmark LLC and Chevron U.S.A. Inc. announced the formation of a joint venture, Brightmark RNG Holdings LLC, to own projects across the United States to produce and market dairy biomethane, a renewable natural gas (RNG). Equity investments by each company in the new venture will fund construction of infrastructure and commercial operation of dairy biomethane projects in multiple states. Chevron will purchase RNG produced from these projects and market the volumes for use in vehicles operating on compressed natural gas.

The Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati team that represented Chevron in the partnership agreement includes Scott Zimmermann, Bob O’Connor, Andy Braff, Matt Bogdan, Stephanie Phillips, and Virginia Harris.
