What is Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)
Using anaerobic digestion technology, we turn food scraps and other excess organics into renewable energy in the form of biogas. After scrubbing out impurities, the biogas becomes renewable natural gas (RNG): a powerful, clean, non-fossil fuel based, and sustainable form of renewable energy.
RNG can be utilized wherever natural gas is currently used. It can be used to generate electricity, heat or even to produce green hydrogen.

Why Now?
Policy Changes
The Federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and expanding state-based Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), along with their associated credit systems, have created monetary incentives for the creation and use of renewable natural gas in the transportation fuel market.
Environmental Impact
When organics are land-applied or disposed of in landfills, they degrade and emit methane into the atmosphere. Methane is a very damaging greenhouse gas, over 20 times more potent than CO2. In our anaerobic digestion facilities, we capture biogas in a controlled environment and transform it into renewable energy.
Customer Demand
Utilities and industrial consumers are working to answer the calls for RNG from their customer bases. These entities across the world have generated demand via growing ESG goals and internal mandates to blend RNG into their energy distribution and consumption profiles.
The Versatility of Biogas
Electricity
Biogas can be used to fuel generator sets that produce electricity for integration into the existing grid.
Hydrogen
When consumed in hydrogen fuel cells, biogas can generate both electricity and hydrogen. When biogas is converted into RNG, it is an excellent resource for production of green hydrogen.
CHP
Biogas can also be used to fuel boilers or combined heat and power (“CHP”) systems that generate thermal or electrical energy in a “behind-the-meter” system. An excellent resource in standalone power systems and micro-grids.
