What is renewable natural gas? Renewable natural gas, or RNG, is sometimes known as biomethane or upgraded biogas. Anaerobic digestion, a process in which bacteria break down organic matter, produces biogas. Biogas can generate heat and electricity with only a minor clean up. Additional refining removes contaminants such as CO2 and nitrogen. At that point, biogas becomes renewable natural gas—n
