POSITION

We support sustainable development, deployment and utilization of RNG from a diversity of FEEDSTOCKS, using competing TECHNOLOGIES, for all sustainable END-USE APPLICATIONS.

ELECTRICITY: Lighting & Electric Appliances TRANSPORTATION FUEL: Direct Use in Natural Gas Vehicles, Secondary Use as Electricity or Renewable Hydrogen & Indirect Use as Process Fuel BUILDING DECARBONIZATION: Heating & Gas Appliances INDUSTRIAL SECTOR: Heating, Drying, Dehumidification, Melting, Food Processing, & Fueling Boilers

USES FOR RNG

1982: 1st RNG Project Developed (Still Operating): Staten Island, NY 1982-2011: 31 RNG Projects Developed in 30 Years: Almost 100% Offsite Electricity Driven by PURPA & RPS 2011-2019: 79 RNG Projects Developed in 8 Years: Transition to Transportation Fuel Driven by RFS & LCFS 2020: 110 RNG Projects in Operation: 80/20 Transportation Fuel/Electricity
