Waste Companies Report RNG Progress; Plus News From Aemetis, Waga and More
With earnings season nearing its end, major waste companies are reporting continued progress on their RNG projects. And while energy companies like BP have announced they’re pulling back on renewable investment, that has so far not led to a significant change in commitments for developers of landfill-gas-to-RNG facilities.
Financial filings shed additional light on project developments. WM reported having 16 third-party RNG facilities, completing five new facilities in 2024 compared to one in 2023.
OPAL Fuels Secures Development Rights on Four New RNG Production Facilities
OPAL Fuels Inc. announced Feb. 28 it has entered into joint venture partnerships to develop four new landfill RNG production projects. OPAL’s 50% share of the four projects represents 1.5 million MMBtu of aggregate annual design capacity. The company is in the process of conducting development and engineering work on the sites and anticipates beginning construction over the course of 2025. When fully operational, the total output from these facilities would be approximately 20 million GGE annually.
“We are very excited about adding these four new projects to our RNG portfolio,” said Jonathan Maurer, Co-CEO of OPAL Fuels. “As we continue to scale our operations and expand our pipeline of landfill gas projects, we continue to make a real impact on decarbonizing heavy-duty trucking fleets, and providing clean energy for homes and businesses.”
