Today is National Bioenergy Energy Day, which highlights the use of organic materials to generate energy. Coinciding with it, the non-profit Energy Vision announced awards to three innovative companies advancing renewable natural gas (RNG) made from organic waste: Ameresco, Quantum Biopower, and CCI Bioenergy.
Uncollected organic wastes emit 25 times more greenhouse gases than the entire fossil natural gas industry. RNG is made from biogas emitted as food waste, wastewater, agricultural manures and yard clippings decompose, which is captured and refined into an ultra-low-emissions energy source. RNG emits a small fraction of GHG of diesel, gasoline or geologic natural gas fuels. In fact, as a transportation fuel made in anaerobic digesters from food or dairy farm waste, RNG is net carbon-negative over its lifecycle.
