New York's MTA, the Port of Seattle, and Vanguard Renewables are Recognized with Energy Vision Awards for Advancing Adoption of Low-Carbon Fuel
New York, NY - October 9, 2020 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Energy Vision (EV), a non-profit research institute which studies and promotes viable decarbonization technologies for energy and transport, held its 14th annual awards event last night (virtually this year due to Covid). EV presented its annual awards for leadership and innovation in sustainability to three organizations that have helped advance adoption of renewable natural gas (RNG), a low-carbon fuel made from organic waste: New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the Port of Seattle at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), and Vanguard Renewables.
RNG is made by capturing the methane biogases emitted as food, agricultural manure, and other organic wastes decompose, preventing these potent greenhouse gases from escaping into the air. The gases are then refined into fuel that is chemically similar to fossil natural gas, but vastly superior in terms of its impacts. It involves no drilling or fracking, it's fully renewable and clean burning, and it has the lowest lifecycle GHG emissions of any currently available fuel. When food wastes and manures are the feedstocks, RNG is net carbon-negative over its lifecycle, which means that more GHG is captured in making it than is ever emitted by the vehicles burning it
