Renewable Natural Gas: A Sustainable Solution To Address Emissions From California’s Organic Waste
While California continues to be a global leader in the fight against climate change, it still lags in one major area: reducing methane emissions from organic waste. In fact, despite aggressive statewide recycling policies, California continues to rank as a top state with the most organic materials in landfills per capita.
Organic materials, like food, animal waste, and green waste, remain the largest source of trash in California, comprising nearly 40% of the more than 30 million tons (27.2 million tonnes) of material that finds its way to landfills in the state each year.
