What is Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)?
Renewable natural gas (RNG) is defined as a pipeline-compatible gaseous fuel derived from biogenic or other renewable sources that has lower life cycle carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions than geologic natural gas.
Based on the 2019 Renewable Sources of Natural Gas: Supply and Emissions Reduction assessment from the American Gas Foundation, there is an estimated 3,780 trillion Btu of RNG which could be produced annually for pipeline injection by 2040.
Gas utilities are key to making RNG a viable, scalable and sustainable solution for the communities they serve. Read the fact sheet in the link below to learn more.
