RNG Coalition Member Milestone Underscores Industry Growth

by Betsy Lillian (NGT News) With the addition of eight new members in September and October, the Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas (RNG Coalition) now represents more than 150 member companies and organizations.

The RNG Coalition – a trade association representing the North American renewable natural gas (RNG) industry – began in July 2011 with seven members. At the time, there were just 31 operating RNG projects in North America. Today, there are 85 production facilities, with dozens more under construction or development, the group says.

“Through effectively coalescing the renewable natural gas industry in North America, we have created a credible advocacy voice that is globally respected and achieved state and federal policies that recognize the environmental and economic benefits of RNG,” says Johannes Escudero, CEO and co-founder of the coalition. “Working together, the RNG industry has built more production facilities in the last seven years than in the prior thirty years.”

The RNG Coalition points out that significant growth in RNG production and adoption has also attracted international technology providers and manufacturers. New members include Germany-based EnviTec Biogas, Portugal-based SysAdvance and global company Ingevity. READ MORE
