September 2021 CEP Preview

Special Section: Renewable Natural Gas

  • Riding a Wave of Waste to a Clean Energy Future
  • Upgrading Biogas to RNG: Favorable policies and environmental benefits are earning renewable natural gas (RNG) market acceptance. Upgrading technologies are critical to producing RNG that is ready to serve this market.
  • Farm-Based Anaerobic Digestion to Catalyze Decarbonization: Food and beverage waste can be combined with manure from farms in anaerobic digesters to produce renewable natural gas.
  • Incorporating RNG into the Gas System: Gas utility providers are working to overcome technical challenges and implement renewable natural gas as a clean energy source.
