Where is RNG Moving Forward & What Will This Mean for the Industry & States? (Part 1)

This three-part series explores developments in RNG and what these developments will likely mean for whom.  Part one delves into activities in specific states—from a New York bill to promote decarbonization in the transportation sector, to developments in Oregon and Colorado and early work in Minnesota and Hawaii. Part two explores RNG pricing and market trends in both the transportation fuel and utilities markets.  And part three reports on financing mechanisms to support RNG infrastructure.

Serious interest in renewable natural gas (RNG) is spreading beyond California, with Oregon, Colorado, Hawaii, and Minnesota all at least considering it. Meanwhile in New York, a low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) bill to promote decarbonization in the transportation sector was presented (but did not pass) in 2019; a vocal environmental advocacy organization is still pushing for its adoption. In this article, leaders in the RNG space discuss what is happening in which regions and share projections on what activity may be around the bend.
