Description (excerpt):
The American Gas Foundation’s analysis, “Renewable Natural Gas Supply Assessment,” demonstrates that renewable natural gas (RNG) is poised to play a pivotal role in meeting energy demand, supporting jobs and economic growth and contributing to emission reductions. The study analyzed supply potential through 2050 via three scenarios based on different levels of feedstock utilization and technology deployment.
RNG resources can be produced from a diverse range of technologies and feedstocks. The study estimates RNG supply potential from biogenic resources ranging from 1,628 trillion BTU per year (tBtu/year) in a low scenario to 7,061 tBtu/year in an ambitious emissions reduction scenario – a level that exceeds the 10-year average residential natural gas consumption of 4,840 tBtu/year in the U.S.
