EnviTec Biogas Commissions its Largest U.S. Anaerobic Digestion Plant Online Strengthening Partnership with SJI
EnviTec Biogas has reached a significant milestone in the U.S. market. With the recent commissioning of its largest anaerobic digestion plant in the country to date, the biogas specialist - through its U.S. subsidiary - is strengthening its partnership with SJI Renewable Energy Ventures and local suppliers. Located in South Dakota, the plant has been processing over 300,000 gallons (1,100 cubic meters) per day of manure from more than 9,500 dairy cows per day since the beginning of the year. It is expected to produce 483 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) of renewable natural gas (RNG) (778 Nm³/h biomethane), equivalent to around 177,000 million BTU per year. This new facility marks a significant milestone for EnviTec Biogas, which has been pioneering the biogas industry in the U.S. since the commissioning of its first project in 2012.
Biofuels Support NY’s Clean Energy Goals — and They Strengthen Our Farms | Opinion
What if there was a way for farmers to stretch crops like soybeans used for animal feed by locally converting the byproducts into cleaner-burning fuel that can power our own farm equipment?
Creating such a self-sustaining model on upstate farms isn’t an abstract thought experiment. It is the potential of biofuels: renewable heating and transportation fuels that can be made from vegetable oils, as well as animal fats and recycled restaurant grease, and that emit fewer carbon emissions than fossil fuels. Biofuels represent a win for farmers, a win for the environment and a win for local economies — if New York state can step up to provide proper support to help grow the industry.
US Lawmakers Introduce Bipartisan $1/Gal RNG Credit Bill
US lawmakers have introduced a bipartisan bill that would give a $1 per gallon tax credit for renewable natural gas (RNG) used as motor fuel.
Introduced by both Democratic and Republican senators and representatives, The Renewable Natural Gas Incentive Act, would award a $1/gal credit to RNG used as a motor fuel and will be valid through 2033.
SoCalGas Enters First-of its-Kind RNG Procurement Agreement
SoCalGas, California’s largest natural gas utility, has awarded Organic Energy Solutions (OES) the first renewable natural gas (RNG) project approved by the California Public Utilities Commission under SB 1440. The law requires the state’s investor-owned natural-gas utilities to procure a certain percentage of RNG, and for those projects to be developed in California.
Aemetis Biogas Monthly RNG Production Increased by 55% in March
Aemetis, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMTX), a renewable natural gas and renewable fuels company focused on low and negative carbon intensity renewable fuels, announced today that its production of renewable natural gas (RNG) increased 55% in March compared to February. RNG production from anaerobic dairy digesters increases during periods of warmer weather due to improved temperatures for microbial activity that converts organic material into biomethane and the higher production quantity is expected to continue through the summer.
Aemetis Biogas also completed a sale of LCFS and D3 RINs at the end of Q1. The LCFS credits were generated from RNG dispensed as transportation fuel in Q4 2024 and were booked under the California Air Resource Board (CARB) reporting process at the end of the first quarter this year. The D3 RINs were from production and dispensing of RNG in February 2025.
RNG COALITION Brand Update Shortens Name, Amplifies Commitment to Influence Future of Energy
Today, RNG Coalition debuts a new brand identity, shortening its name (previously 'Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas') and unveiling a vibrant new logo system that highlights its role as the trusted voice for North America's renewable natural gas (RNG) industry.
The new icon, wordmark and bright colors convey the bold optimism the organization has for the RNG industry's value proposition, shared mission, and vision to further influence the future of energy through Leadership, Education, Advocacy, Development and Sustainability (LEADS).
Renewable Natural Gas Gets a Bipartisan Boost on Capitol Hill
A bipartisan bill introduced in both the House and Senate would provide a tax credit for renewable natural gas used as fuel.
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, a Republican congressman from Pennsylvania, and Rep. Linda Sánchez, a Democrat congresswoman from California, have joined forces with Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Mark Warner (D-VA) to introduce the Renewable Natural Gas Incentive Act of 2025 to help drive the transition to cleaner fuels.
Trump Tariffs May Redraw Biofuel Trade, US Policy in Focus
A US minimum universal tariff of 10% on all goods imported into the US could reshape the world's trade flow of biofuels with traders expecting Europe may face more imports or Asian feedstocks would stay in local markets.
US President Donald Trump revealed on Wednesday a blanket minimum 10% tariff on all goods imported to the US, with some nations facing significantly higher tariffs.
Considerations for Siting Efficient and Effective Anaerobic Digestion Systems
There has been a marked uptick in interest in establishing anaerobic digesters at sites with a steady supply of organic materials, including farms with abundant animal manure and crop residues, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), food production facilities, and landfills. Stand-alone digesters constructed to accept organics from multiple businesses are also being considered. Existing facilities would do well to consider how they can manage organics, so it is diverted from landfills and properly reused. Operators could bring waste in as part of an existing facility and not lose the tonnage that would otherwise be lost if food waste was diverted. Read on for an overview of key site considerations for siting anaerobic digestion facilities, from federal guidelines, state regulations, and permitting, to feedstock analysis, site design and layout, costs and revenue, water requirements, and digestate disposal.
Analysis: Getting to Grips With SBTi’s Latest Draft Corporate Net-Zero Standard Proposals
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) opened a consultation on the initial draft of its much-anticipated updated Corporate Net-Zero Standard (CNZS) last month, which includes consideration of interim CO2 removals (CDR) targets.
SBTi, the main arbiter of corporate climate targets, said the draft CNZS remains focussed on emissions reduction, but explores ways to incentivize the scaling of CDR and climate finance, as well as looking at how to deal with barriers to addressing "challenging" Scope 3 value-chain emissions.
