Environmental & Economic Impacts of Biogas Combustion in Piston/Reciprocating Engines Reciprocating internal combustion engines, or piston engines, are used worldwide as a low-cost method of generating power. Reciprocating combustion engines have also been widely used to generate power from biogas....
Biogas produced from the anaerobic digestion of organic waste offers a valuable source of renewable energy. Considering the abundance of organic waste produced by various human activities, this could provide a significant source of renewable energy that is completely sustainable...
While incentives and policies that promote the use of renewable natural gas for thermal applications by end-users are currently limited, some local and state voluntary programs are beginning to emerge. Additionally, the demand for renewable natural gas is increasing as...
While the price of electricity is currently relatively low and is expected to stay that way in the foreseeable future, some renewable portfolio standard (RPS) programs issue renewable energy certificates that promote the use of renewable natural gas derived from...
A change in policy that can help RNG project developers overcome some of the common challenges faced when new projects are being developed is the introduction of incentives for pipeline interconnection together with clear quality guidelines required for biogas that...
Federal Policy and Incentives for Using Renewable Natural Gas as Vehicle Fuel The federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) requires obligated fuel suppliers to meet their Renewable Volume Obligation according to the annual volume of petroleum-based fuel they import or produce....
A common misconception is that the quality of renewable natural gas is inferior to that of fossil natural gas as it contains higher levels of contaminants compared to fossil natural gas. But this has proven to be untrue. The Gas...
Gas detection equipment can help detect and locate gas leaks and are an essential safety tool on sites where gas could potentially escape and pose a safety hazard to workers or the surrounding communities. However, from time to time, you...
The two main barriers that could potentially pose a challenge to a renewable natural gas project, include economic barriers, as discussed in our previous post, and technical barriers. This article examines some of the technical barriers to RNG project development....
