The Promise and Opportunity of Renewable Natural Gas Vehicles in 2022
2021 was a big year for renewable natural gas (RNG). Also known as biogas, RNG is natural gas produced from methane emissions from landfills, farms, wastewater plants, and food waste. And there’s reason to believe 2022 will be an even bigger year.
Two developments are especially noteworthy. First, in April 2021, Natural Gas Vehicles for America (NGVAmerica) and the Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas (RNG Coalition) announced that data on US natural gas-fueled vehicles (NGVs) from 2020 revealed that RNG made up 53% of all on-road natural gas vehicle fuel. This was the first time RNG had achieved a majority use in NGVs.
