Renewable Energy Platform Dynamic Renewables Secures Major Funding Commitment from Leading Infrastructure Investor

Dynamic Renewables, a comprehensive waste management and anaerobic digestion solutions provider operating across the United States, has unveiled a significant capital infusion from Ares Management’s Infrastructure Opportunities fund, alongside a minority equity position from NorthWestern Energy. This strategic partnership underscores the accelerating momentum in the renewable natural gas sector and positions the company for substantial expansion of its project portfolio.

Scaling Operations and Environmental Impact

The collaboration centers on accelerating the development and construction of Dynamic Renewables’ expanding renewable natural gas asset base nationwide. Currently, the company is overseeing six major construction projects slated for operational status by year-end 2023, collectively anticipated to produce over 4,000 MMBtu per day of renewable natural gas. These facilities are projected to eliminate approximately 300,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually—a significant contribution to decarbonization efforts in the energy sector.

BC Organics: Flagship Biorefinery Achievement

Dynamic Renewables’ flagship asset, BC Organics, represents a landmark achievement in large-scale biorefinery operations. Situated in Brown County, Wisconsin, the facility processes feedstock from eleven dairy operations, featuring sixteen anaerobic digester tanks with a processing capacity of 900,000 gallons of manure daily. The installation generates carbon-negative transportation fuel while delivering sustainable manure management solutions to partner farms, converting organic waste into clean water and reusable animal bedding.

Strategic Partners and Market Leadership

Ares Management, managing approximately $14.9 billion in infrastructure equity and debt assets as of mid-2023, brings substantial investment experience and infrastructure development expertise to Dynamic Renewables’ growth trajectory. The partnership aligns with Ares’ broader commitment to advancing lower-carbon economic transition through innovative waste recovery and anaerobic digestion technologies. NorthWestern Energy’s minority stake reflects the utility’s strategic alignment with net-zero objectives and expansion of renewable fuel production capacity within its service territories.

Industry Positioning and Future Outlook

Since its founding in 2011, Dynamic Renewables has established itself as an integrated platform spanning origination, development, financing, and operations of renewable fuel assets, particularly within dairy and food processing sectors. The company’s leadership team—co-founders and executives Duane Toenges (CEO), Dan Nemke (CTO), and Karl Crave (Executive Vice President of Special Projects)—brings nearly twenty years of collective expertise in anaerobic digestion technology development and deployment.

Dynamic Renewables’ demonstrated track record in the rapidly advancing renewable fuels market, combined with this fresh capital commitment, positions the organization to expand its project pipeline substantially. The investment underscores growing recognition within the alternative investment and energy infrastructure communities that waste-to-energy solutions represent a critical component of achieving decarbonization targets while supporting agricultural communities with economically viable waste management practices.
