How Much Could RNG Cut Methane Emissions From Organic Waste?
In the fall of 2021, the U.S. and 110 other countries committed to reduce methane emissions 30% by 2030, which some believe could be a call to action for the solid waste management industry, as about 30% of U.S. emissions come from decomposing organic waste.
Proponents of renewable natural gas (RNG), derived from organics, believe this fuel can play a role in quickly addressing and mitigating these emissions.
