Renewable natural gas (RNG) can turn a waste problem into a powerful climate solution. RNG projects capture emissions from organic waste (think landfills, farms, and wastewater treatment plants) to produce renewable energy that can be used just like conventional natural gas. By adding RNG to the natural gas distribution system we can prevent the release of greenhouse gasses from waste streams and reduce the amount of conventional natural gas flowing through pipelines. RNG can be considered carbon neutral because both combustion and lifecycle emissions do not contribute a net-increase in greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Looking ahead, the gas sector also sees emerging opportunities to bring low-carbon sources of hydrogen into the energy mix at a large scale.
