Rapid Growth in Renewable Natural Gas, Which Could Significantly Cut Methane Emissions

The sustainable energy NGO Energy Vision (EV) today released its annual assessment of the US renewable natural gas (RNG) industry, conducted in collaboration with the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory. It shows rapid growth in projects producing RNG last year, and a potential pathway to deep methane emissions cuts at a time when the latest Global Methane Budget shows emissions rising rapidly. The new EV/ANL assessment tracks RNG production facilities where part or all of the output is used as transportation fuel. RNG is the lowest-carbon transportation fuel availabl
