RNG
WHAT IS RENEWABLE NATURAL GAS (RNG)
Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) recognized source of clean energy made from organic waste materials. RNG is made from waste generated by agriculture, farms, landfills, biomass wastes from forests, and wastewater treatment facilities.
The most common RNG production process captures naturally occurring methane from the decomposition of organic materials. Instead of allowing the methane to rise into the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas and further contribute to climate change, the methane is immediately captured, processed, and then injected into the gas pipeline as energy to power buildings, homes, and vehicles.
How it works
-
Step 1: Waste from dairy, farms and landfills
-
Capture waste from dairies, farms and landfills
-
Step 2: Convert to Biogas
-
Convert into biogas using anaerobic digestion
-
Step 3: Make it pipeline ready
-
Process the biogas to make it pipeline-ready (biomethane)
-
Step 4: Inject into pipeline
-
Inject the biomethane into the pipeline for future use
What you need to know
California’s biggest sources of methane are waste streams from:
- 56% Dairies, Livestock & Agriculture
- 21% Landfills
- 16% Oil and Gas Extraction
- 7% Industrial and Misc.
