Montauk Breaks Ground on Oklahoma RNG Project
Montauk Renewables' subsidiary Tulsa LFG has broken ground on a 1,500 MMBtu/day renewable natural gas project at the American Environmental Landfill in Oklahoma, according to a company release.
The US renewable natural gas producer said the project in Tulsa is an extension of an existing agreement with the landfill and will use inlet gas feedstocks to produce the RNG.
RIN Prices and Tax Credits Weigh on Biofuel Revenue
Most US biofuel production numbers are clearly on track to end the first quarter of this year in negative territory either on a quarter-over-quarter or year-over-year basis, Rystad Energy analysis suggests. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published the updated statistics for the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program on March 20 covering the supply, trade and price dynamics for February 2025. Similar to previous months, we still observe uncertainty around future biofuel policy starts having a tangible impact on the actual supply for nearly all bio products.
Renewable Energy Company To Build Natural Gas Plant at Sand Springs Landfill
A Sand Springs landfill will supply the methane for a natural gas processing plant that will soon be under construction.
American Environmental Landfill, part of Tulsa-based American Waste Control, already harvests gas created in the landfill to operate an electric generation facility. Montauk Renewables operates the electric plant and will operate the new gas plant as well. AEL Vice President Todd Green said excess gas from the landfill would otherwise be burned, but “instead of destroying the ozone, what we’re doing is cleaning that up and making sure it can be used by the community.”
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.
