Description (excerpt):
Reducing methane – a potent short-lived climate pollutant – is key to addressing climate change. One effective way is by capturing these methane emissions and converting them into transportation fuel, concentrating on those transport sectors nearly impossible to electrify.
As waste and organic matter break down, they emit methane. Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), or biogas, is gas produced from methane emitted through decomposition of animal manure, food waste, forest management waste, wastewater sludge, and garbage. RNG projects capture this methane and redirect it away from the environment, repurposing this energy for positive use and supporting a circular, carbon-neutral economy.
