As an important renewable energy source, RNG has several environmental benefits such as offsetting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other aspects associated with the production, combustion, use and transport of RNG when compared to geologic natural gas. In addition, in certain applications, RNG can provide local air quality benefits to communities. All these factors play an important part in helping our state and nation transition to a clean energy future.
RNG supply is plentiful and is expected to be able to displace at least 20% of geologic natural gas production by 2040.
