Republic Services Marks Nearly $1 Billion in Sustainability Investments in 2025
Republic Services, Inc. released its 2025 Sustainability Report, highlighting nearly $1 billion in sustainability investments during the year as the company continued to advance its 2030 Safety, Talent, Climate Leadership and Communities goals. The company’s $973 million sustainability investments included bringing nine new renewable natural gas (RNG) projects online, opening the Indianapolis Polymer Center-Blue Polymers Complex and beginning construction on a third Polymer Center, as well as expanding its electric collection fleet to more than 180 trucks, supported by charging infrastructure at 32 sites.
Clean Energy To Build New Hydrogen Station for Orange County Transportation Authority’s Expanding Zero-emission Bus Fleet
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE), a leader in construction of alternative transportation stations, announced it has been awarded a $27.5 million contract by Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to design and build a new private hydrogen fueling station at OCTA’s Garden Grove bus base.
Washington Has the Manure but Not the Market
A new Energy Vision report finds that Washington dairy farmers want to build anaerobic digesters, developers want to finance them, and a decade of policy instability has stopped nearly all of it from happening.
Company Partners with GFL Environmental to Build Two RNG Facilities in US
GFL Environmental and its partners announced plans in June to construct two new renewable natural gas facilities in Alabama and Georgia, a project designed to expand domestic fuel production for heavy-duty commercial fleets.
Op-Ed: SAF Prices Shouldn’t Rise with Conventional Jet Fuel
Renewed conflict in the Strait of Hormuz is once again driving up fossil fuel prices. For airlines already reeling from the fuel price surge since the Iran War began in late February, the lesson is clear: volatility is the new normal. Conventional jet fuel skyrocketed from $2.50/gallon in mid-February to a peak of nearly $5/gallon in late April in the US, with international markets experiencing even higher spikes. This makes sense, as about 20% of global oil and gas supplies normally flows through the Strait of Hormuz, and that was largely taken off the market.
The Rapid to Replace Diesel Buses With CNG/RNG Buses by July 2027
Grand Rapids transit agency The Rapid has approved the purchase of eight new 40-foot buses running on compressed and renewable natural gas, funded through a federal grant plus state matching funds with no local public dollars required. Once delivered in July 2027, the roughly $8 million order will let the agency retire its remaining diesel buses and replace five aging Silver Line diesel-electric hybrids, growing its CNG/RNG fixed-route fleet from 131 to 139 vehicles as part of a broader push to eliminate diesel by 2048.
Springfield Invites Private Partners for Renewable Gas Projects
The City of Springfield has issued a Request for Proposals inviting private developers to build renewable natural gas facilities at its Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill and Southwest Wastewater Treatment Plant. After years exploring a design-build model that never reached construction, the city shifted to a developer-financed approach intended to lower taxpayer risk while still capturing methane-rich biogas and upgrading it to pipeline-quality RNG. Selected developers would handle financing, design, construction, and operations, plus manage environmental credits and other regulatory incentives. Proposals are due December 1, with an award decision expected in January 2027.
What’s Next for RNG? Experts Break Down 2026–2027 Policy Shifts
The EPA’s newly finalized Renewable Fuel Standard volumes—26.81 billion gallons for 2026 and 27.02 billion for 2027—are raising fresh questions for the RNG sector. Meanwhile, California’s amended Low Carbon Fuel Standard introduces a steeper carbon-intensity benchmark through 2045. RNG Coalition spokesperson Dylan Chase weighed in, noting the group backs tighter limits because they support higher credit prices and reward RNG’s low carbon intensity relative to other transportation fuels.
France Proposes Extending Biogas Support Scheme to Pyrolysis
France has proposed expanding its renewable gas support scheme to include pyrolysis and gasification projects, a move that could broaden the country’s biomethane production pathways and open new opportunities for thermochemical conversion technologies.
