Depending on what feedstock is used in the digestion process, the raw biogas that is collected from the biodigester typically consists of between 45-65% flammable methane, with several impurities making up the balance. When the biogas is used to produce...
Current Status of RNG Projects in the US According to a recent EPA report, as of July 2020, 34 states had over 100 operational RNG projects, and as of February 2020, there were around 40 more under construction. The EPA...
In the thought provoking book, The Upcycle: Beyond Sustainability — Designing for Abundance, authors William McDonough and Michael Braungart propose that if we wish to become truly sustainable, we need to completely rethink the way we design materials, and that...
Switching from conventional natural gas (fossil fuel) to renewable natural gas results in a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that benefit climate change. One method used to determine the climate benefit offered by a fuel is to assess its...
Developing renewable natural gas projects enables us to diversify our fuel supplies, which ultimately increases fuel security, while at the same time providing economic benefits to local communities (for example, employment opportunities) and end users. It also provides environmental benefits...
Substituting conventional fossil-fuels such as gasoline and diesel with vehicle fuels derived from renewable natural gas has several environmental benefits, including reducing the emission of atmospheric pollutants, which in turn improves local air quality. Since renewable natural gas (RNG) combusts...
There are two primary methods used to deliver renewable natural gas to the end user: it is either used locally onsite, for example to fuel vehicles; or it is injected into a pipeline for use elsewhere. Since the chemical structure...
What we are seeing regarding the Impact of COVID-19 on Landfill and BioGas Projects Living a more sustainable existence is what we should all strive for; reducing our consumption, especially of disposable items and luxury goods that we don't really...
Renewable Natural Gas, or RNG, is a form of biogas that is generated by anaerobic bacteria that is refined to make it suitable for use as a replacement for natural gas derived from fossil fuel sources. The raw biogas typically...
