Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK's engine plant in Deeside, North Wales, has begun carbon-neutral production, becoming the first Toyota facility outside Japan to transition to carbon-neutral manufacturing operations.
A newly commissioned anaerobic digester supplying biomethane gas and renewable electricity to the site played a decisive role in closing the plant's remaining emissions gap.
The RNG Gap Ethanol Can’t Afford to Ignore
Renewable natural gas (RNG) developers have a supply problem, and ethanol producers have a demand they aren't allowed to use to solve it. Dispensing capacity hasn't kept pace with RNG production, and the market is increasingly oversupplied. Ethanol plants, meanwhile, are significant consumers of natural gas for process heat. On paper, that looks like an obvious match. In practice, the accounting rules governing how RNG's environmental value can be claimed stand in the way, and nobody in the industry has managed to close the gap.
Waga Energy to Build RNG Unit at Spanish Landfill
French gas upgrading specialist Waga Energy SA (EPA:WAGA) has signed a ten-year contract with Spanish waste management services company FCC Medioambiente to set up and operate a renewable natural gas (RNG) production facility at a landfill site near Granada, southern Spain.
Waga Energy said on Tuesday that, under the contract, it will finance, build, own and operate a WAGABOX upgrading unit at the Ecocentral landfill in Alhendin. The unit will process up to 2,400 cubic metres per hour of landfill gas and is scheduled to start operations in 2028.
California Bioenergy Completes Acquisition of South Dakota RNG
California Bioenergy LLC (CalBio) has completed the acquisition of Sevana Bioenergy’s interest in South Dakota Biogas LLC, strengthening its participation in a joint venture developing dairy renewable natural gas (RNG) projects in South Dakota.
South Dakota Biogas LLC and UGI Energy Services (UGIES) hold ownership interests in MBL Bioenergy, a joint venture formed to develop and operate eight dairy RNG projects in the state, with scope for additional projects.
Renewable Energy Plant will Convert Landfill Emissions, Support Fort Worth’s Trash Demands
Fort Worth officials expect to have a renewable natural gas plant built at the city’s landfill within the next two years, capturing gases and producing more funds to support long-term waste planning.
Environmental services officials finalized an agreement in 2025 with Archaea Energy Operating LLC — a subsidiary of natural gas producer Archaea Energy Inc. — to convert the landfill’s emissions into renewable natural gas through a conversion system, according to city documents.
LoCI Controls Expands to Canada to Support Growth of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Sector
LoCI Controls, Inc. announced the launch of LoCI Controls Canada, extending the company's position as a market and technology leader in helping landfill operators maximize the financial performance of renewable natural gas (RNG) projects.
RNG has emerged as one of the fastest-growing pathways for landfill gas in North America, converting methane that would otherwise be flared or vented into a marketable, low-carbon fuel. For operators, the economics depend on capturing and delivering gas efficiently, which requires knowing, in real time, what's happening underground.
Aemetis Receives $22.4 Million from Clean Fuel Tax Credit Sale
Aemetis Inc. announced it received $22.4 million from the sale of Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Tax Credits generated from ethanol and renewable natural gas production in 2026, according to a press release statement.
The tax credits represent a value of approximately $0.33 per gallon of ethanol and $62 per MMBtu of renewable natural gas, before sale discounts and transaction costs. The values are based on the 45ZCF-GREET model updated by the U.S. Department of Energy on September 8, 2026.
Verbio Expands RNG Production
Verbio has reported record production figures for the 2025/26 financial year, with the German biorefinery group producing 1.218 million tonnes of biodiesel and bioethanol worldwide, alongside 1,410 GWh of biomethane—up from 1,190 GWh the previous year.
The company's products and trading activity delivered CO₂ savings of 4.7 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent over the period.
Clean Energy Closes $30.7 Million Tax Credit Sale from its RNG Portfolio
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. announced that it has completed the sale of $30.7 million in federal tax credits generated by seven of its renewable natural gas (RNG) production facilities. The sale marks Clean Energy's fourth successful transaction monetizing credits from its RNG projects.
The largest credit in the transaction is the $26 million investment tax credit (ITC) tied to South Fork Dairy, Clean Energy's RNG facility in Dimmit, Texas, which began producing RNG in 2025.
Washington (State) Nears Final Step in Joining California-Quebec Carbon Market
Taking the stage at Climate Week in New York City Wednesday morning, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced his authorization to move forward with linking Washington into its carbon market that’s shared with Quebec, Canada, the next-to-last step in California’s process to complete the merger.
On the same day, Washington state officials completed the rulemaking process to allow the linkage. California and Quebec will still need to complete regulatory changes, the final step, before merging can occur.
