The Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas (RNG Coalition) is the trade association and advocacy voice for the Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) industry in North America.
RNG Coalition was founded on July 7, 2011 by Johannes Escudero and David Cox with the support of eight founding member companies. Today, the RNG Coalition represents more than 400 member companies whose individual and collective areas of experience and expertise bolster the Coalition’s platform and amplify the organization’s advocacy voice.
Together, we advocate for and educate elected officials and the general public about the energy reliability, sustainability, and global and local environmental and economic benefits of renewable gas (RNG, CO2, RH2).
Advocacy and education inform public policy. Public policies influence markets - regulated and voluntary. Markets drive demand. Demand determines value. Value impacts revenue. Revenue correlates with sustainability.
Our members represent more than 98% of the RNG produced in North America by volume. We are feedstock and technology neutral and support all sustainable end-use applications of RNG. We seek recognition and inclusion of RNG as an essential element of any alternative or renewable energy or fuel standard or program.
We advocate for favorable treatment of RNG, CO2 and RH2 as viable investments and alternative energy resources in Federal, State and Provincial laws and regulations.
We are proud of our diverse and international membership comprised of producers and consumers, consultants, small businesses, large corporations, municipalities and non-profit representatives of each sector of the RNG value chain, including: waste collection, waste management and recycling companies, renewable energy project developers, engineers, financiers, banks, investors, gas and power marketers, gas and power transporters, technology manufacturers and service providers, environmental advocates, research organizations, universities, innovators, labor unions, law firms, power and transportation companies, fueling stations, fleets, cities, counties, airports, ports, municipalities, public and investor owned utilities.
