3 Open Minutes with Geoff Dietz
Renewable natural gas (RNG) projects capture methane from animal manure to create a low-carbon, waste-derived fuel to power vehicles and buildings. The latest data shows that U.S. farms are capturing 166% more biogas than what was captured five years ago, processing 25 billion gallons of manure annually. For dairy farmers, these projects are an economically sustainable practice that redirects methane from the environment.
Progressive Dairy Editor Jenn Coyne connected with Geoff Dietz, senior director of federal government affairs with the Renewable Natural Gas Coalition, to learn more about how this alternative energy sector has evolved to its current state in the U.S. dairy industry.
