Colorado Lawmakers Look to Ramp up Renewable Natural Gas Industry Across State
December 7, 2020 - State Sen. Kerry Donovan of Vail knows a thing or two about animal poop and human waste since they’re both big components of the family businesses — a working ranch near Edwards that she runs and the Vail Honeywagon trash collection service. She also knows you can pull renewable natural gas (RNG) — and therefore clean power — from both forms of waste.
She voted for a bill last legislative session that would have mandated large utilities get a certain percentage of their energy from RNG. It was called the Adopt Renewable Natural Gas Standard (SB20-150), and it passed the Senate 24-10 with one senator excused before being derailed in the House when the session ended abruptly due to COVID-19.
