Renewable Natural Gas

About

Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) is a sustainable energy source produced by capturing and processing methane emissions from organic waste sources, such as agricultural activities, landfills, and wastewater treatment plants. This process involves anaerobic digestion, where microorganisms break down organic matter to produce biogas, primarily composed of methane and carbon dioxide. The biogas is then upgraded to RNG by removing impurities, resulting in a high-methane content gas that is chemically similar to conventional natural gas. RNG offers several benefits, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved local air quality, and enhanced energy security. It can be used interchangeably with conventional natural gas for heating, cooking, and as a fuel for vehicles. RNG also supports economic growth by creating jobs and generating revenue through the sale of this clean energy source. Its use helps in diverting waste from landfills, reducing pollution, and promoting a circular economy. Overall, RNG is a valuable alternative to fossil fuels, contributing to a more sustainable energy future.
