Society will always generate waste, which releases methane as it decomposes. As we turn this methane into a valuable, renewable fuel, we close the loop on waste.
RNG is a low-carbon, recycled fuel that serves as a direct substitute for fossil natural gas to power and heat homes and businesses, as well as to fuel transportation.
RNG is a drop-in fuel that can utilize existing natural gas infrastructure, advancing a cleaner, more sustainable future today.
As organic waste decomposes in a landfill, it produces landfill gas, primarily made up of methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). This gas is captured and moved to a processing facility, preventing methane from entering the atmosphere.
CO₂ and other impurities are removed, leaving behind pipeline-quality methane or RNG, turning what would otherwise be a harmful greenhouse gas into a clean, renewable energy source.
Once the RNG is processed, it is either compressed or liquefied and delivered via pipelines or tankers for use. It can be used for local transportation, heating, electricity generation, industrial processes and decarbonization of the global LNG supply chain.
