What is renewable natural gas?  Renewable natural gas (RNG) differs from fossil fuels as it's produced from various types of waste, like used cooking oil, animal waste, sludge from wastewater, manure and other waste materials. As these biodegradable materials decompose, methane is released. This methane is captured and converted into RNG.  Because methane is the primary component o

There are over 23 million natural gas vehicles in the world, including over 175,000 in the United States. Of these, 64% of all on-road fuel used in these vehicles in 2021 was renewable natural gas (RNG), according to industry trade group, NGV Americas. That percentage increases in California, where it’s 98%. Unlike regular natural gas, RNG is not obtained from fossil resources and constitutes a ca
