What is RNG?
RNG is an alternative fuel produced from organic waste biogas that has been refined for injection into natural gas pipelines. As a storable, replenishable fuel that looks and acts like natural gas, RNG reduces the impact of organic waste while providing an environmentally friendly fuel source. Successful RNG projects require cross-industry collaboration across economic, social and environmental fronts. The collaboration leads to greater awareness, ultimately providing a much greater impact than if one industry or group addresses problems like emissions reduction and waste management alone.
Because RNG is sourced and created from local waste products, our communities benefit in two ways: access to energy security that is not reliant on long-haul energy sources or impacted by events happening in a different region, and a solution for local waste management. While some other sources of renewable energy may require significant infrastructure investments, RNG can be used in existing natural gas infrastructure, making it an economically sound solution for sustainable energy. Such value-added projects, coupled with methane reduction initiatives our industry is undertaking, will lead to a positive impact.
