RNG’s Rise from Alternative to Essential Energy – Biomass Magazine
RNG’s Journey from Alternative to Essential Energy
Renewable natural gas (RNG) has quickly transitioned from being seen as an alternative energy source to an essential one in the energy landscape. RNG, also known as biomethane, is produced from organic waste such as agricultural residues, food waste, and wastewater treatment plants.
The rise of RNG can be attributed to its many benefits. Not only does RNG help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by capturing methane that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, but it also provides a renewable energy source that can be used to power vehicles, heat homes, and generate electricity.
Furthermore, RNG production helps divert organic waste from landfills, reducing the amount of methane emissions from decomposing waste. This makes RNG a key player in the fight against climate change and a valuable tool in achieving sustainability goals.
As the demand for renewable energy continues to grow, RNG is poised to play a significant role in meeting these needs. With its ability to provide a clean and reliable energy source, RNG has become an essential part of the energy mix and is expected to continue its upward trajectory in the coming years.
