The renewable natural gas opportunity
Renewable natural gas (RNG)
RNG is natural gas produced from organic waste from farms, forests, landfills, and water treatment plants. The gas is captured, cleaned, and injected into pipelines to be used in the same way as conventional natural gas.
The use of RNG is part of a closed loop carbon cycle. RNG is produced from organic sources that once absorbed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When the RNG is used as an energy source it is considered carbon neutral because it returns that same carbon back to the environment.
