RNG is a transportation fuel made from organic waste that drastically reduces carbon emissions by an average of 300% versus Diesel. It is not a fossil fuel and does not involve drilling, making it a cleaner alternative for the environment.
Organic matter decays naturally and produces methane, one of the greenhouse gases most detrimental to the environment. By capturing this methane and turning it into renewable natural gas, we prevent it from entering and damaging the atmosphere, thus reducing methane emissions significantly.
RNG powers heavy-duty trucks and buses, replacing dirty diesel and gasoline. When combined with the latest natural gas engines, RNG is a zero emissions solution certified by the EPA and the California Air Resources Board. This helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector, which is responsible for 28% of total emissions in the U.S.
RNG reduces carbon emissions on two fronts: at the source where it's made and on the road. It is the only alternative fuel that can avoid more emissions than it generates, making it a highly effective solution for reducing overall emissions in the transportation industry.
Recent developments include the construction of renewable natural gas dairy production facilities across multiple states, the injection of RNG at dairy farms, the establishment of RNG hubs, and the financing of RNG infrastructure expansion. Partnerships with companies in the transportation sector have also been formed to promote the use of RNG as a clean fuel alternative.
