Renewable Natural Gas
Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) is produced by capturing and processing methane emissions from organic sources such as animal waste, wastewater treatment plants, food waste, and landfills—sources that would otherwise release methane into the environment as the organic material decomposes. Many forms of RNG are considered carbon-neutral or even carbon-negative. By capturing methane and converting it into a valuable energy source, RNG significantly contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Biogas that would typically be released into the atmosphere can instead be captured, processed, and utilized as a lower-carbon natural gas alternative. The production of RNG is expected to see substantial growth in the coming years. However, many RNG projects face challenges in connecting directly to sales gas pipelines. AltaStream’s expertise in RNG compression and the transportation of high-pressure gases allows RNG developers to unlock the full potential of their product and bring it to market efficiently. Our fleet of specialized trailers and mobile distribution capabilities ensure that RNG can be delivered directly to customers, even in regions lacking pipeline infrastructure.
Benefits of Renewable Natural Gas
Zero or Negative Carbon Emissions: RNG reduces greenhouse gases by capturing methane that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere.
Sustainable Fuel: RNG is a renewable energy source, produced from organic waste like food scraps, landfills, and animal waste.
Carbon Tax Savings: Using RNG helps avoid carbon tax penalties and supports compliance with emissions regulations.
High Efficiency: RNG is a cleaner, more efficient alternative to traditional natural gas, with a lower environmental impact.
Supports Circular Economy: RNG utilizes waste materials, contributing to a more sustainable and resource-efficient energy system.
