Nicor Gas Marks First RNG Interconnection in Illinois
Nicor Gas, one of four natural gas distribution companies of Southern Company Gas, opened its first-ever renewable natural gas (RNG) interconnection with Air Liquide’s largest RNG facility globally to convert biogas from a nearby landfill into energy.
“This interconnection is a significant step forward for Nicor Gas and Southern Company Gas on the path to a sustainable energy future for Illinois and facilitating economy-wide carbon reductions while fueling resiliency, energy security, and the growth of the clean energy economy,” said Wendell Dallas, president and CEO of Nicor Gas, during an official ribbon cutting ceremony for the event that was attended by company leaders, local and national elected officials, and community partners.
