America’s Renewable Transportation Future
Moving US Forward is a coalition of diverse partners advocating for the use of renewable fuels. Renewable natural gas (RNG) is an abundant, clean American energy source that will dramatically reduce carbon emissions, ensuring long-term sustainability while helping to secure domestic jobs and strengthen America’s heartland.
The Renewable Natural Gas Incentive Act promotes the increased use of renewable natural gas as a motor fuel, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and increases job creation and economic opportunity throughout the United States
In December 2023, over 200 businesses and organizations wrote to Congressional leaders urging the bill’s passage.
Affordable and proven natural gas vehicle technology fueled with biomethane (RNG) collected at local landfills, wastewater treatment plants, commercial food waste facilities, and agricultural digesters can yield a carbon-negative lifecycle emissions result.
For the fourth consecutive year, California fleets fueled with in-state bio-CNG were carbon-negative in 2023, based on an annual average carbon intensity score of -126.42 gCO2e/MJ.
Renewable natural gas (RNG) or biomethane, is derived from abundant resources, including decomposing organic waste in landfills, wastewater treatment, and agriculture.
Renewable natural gas (RNG) is a pipeline-quality natural gas and offers a cost-effective, drop-in, low-carbon replacement for conventional natural gas derived from fossil resources.
The production of renewable natural gas (RNG, also known as biomethane or upgraded biogas) is an emerging strategy to turn organic waste into a low-carbon fuel for use in vehicles.
By reducing carbon both at the source where it’s made and on the road, renewable natural gas (RNG) can avoid more emissions than it generates.
By reducing carbon both at the source where it’s made and on the road, renewable natural gas (RNG) can avoid more emissions than it generates.
Renewable natural gas (RNG) is growing in prominence as a strategy to help achieve climate, waste management, and other sustainability goal. This paper provides guidance for state policymakers on evaluating RNG resource potential, greenhouse gas emissions impacts, market opportunities, and policy options.
