Renewable Natural Gas is one of the fastest growing fuel sources in North America right now. Eighty-nine percent of RNG production comes from Municipal Solid Waste and Ag Waste. With many solid waste sites already managing landfill gas, ag sites are becoming more popular for collection, processing, and transmission of RNG. Historically, swine operations have been designed and constructed to optimize every part of the animal…every part except the waste. However, due to recent beneficial carbon credits and low CI scoring of Ag Gas, swine producers are now investing in infrastructure that uses the swine waste to create gas and, therefore, another revenue stream.
