Podcasts about renewable natural gas

Today, we return to the subject of Renewable Natural Gas, which could be as much as 15 % of global natural gas supply by 2050, offering significant advantages both in its carbon intensity as well as driving a powerful circularity, capturing waste methane that would otherwise go into the atmosphere, driving biodiversity and providing significant optionality in trading. What is RNG? Where does it sit today in terms of  global policy support and participants and what does its future hold? Our guests are Warren Feather and Ben Kruger. Warren was a Managing Director of Cargill and led their global oilseeds processing and renewables solutions businesses before joining Roeslein as a board advisor while Ben Kruger has joined Roeslein and Associates as the SVP of Renewables after a 25 -year career at Cargill, where he latterly was Director of Renewable Natural Gas and Specialty Oil Seeds. Roeslein itself is a global technology and engineering company that, through its Roeslein Renewables Group, is now developing projects around the world in renewable natural gas, offering turnkey solutions to agricultural customers,including finance and all technical aspects of project development.

Give this country a challenge, and we will meet it. The natural gas surge in the U.S., thanks to the “frac'ing revolution” has made the U.S. the world leader in lowering carbon emissions (whether or not you are losing sleep over that issue…this is a fact.) Can we make natural gas even cleaner? Yes we can. While foreign companies are pushing out hugely expensive “green” technologies that make us dependent on foreign supply chains (and add their profits to the national credit card via more taxpayer funds), Americans have another idea.  The good people at Suburban Propane, America's oldest propane company, have found a way to invest in “renewable” natural gas and propane, more environmentally friendly fuels. Propane is the third most used fuel worldwide, heating homes (24 million in the U.S. alone), pools, and vineyards, fueling stoves, powering farm equipment and forklifts, and so much more. Michael Stivala, CEO of Suburban Propane, tells us how this American company is taking leadership with this American product, using American workers, and a resource that puts the individual citizen in charge.  Your state regulators decide to start rolling outages to ration power? No problem! You have propane in the backyard.  An ice storm or hurricane hits? No problem! It's propane deliveries to the rescue, as we have seen time and time again. Not every country has this advantage.

This week, our guest is Roger Dall'Antonia, President and CEO of FortisBC.  FortisBC is a leading energy provider in British Columbia (BC), Canada. The utility serves about 1.1 million natural gas customers and 185,000 electricity customers. Roger explains the benefits of using natural gas to meet the peak winter heating demand and the challenges of using electricity to do the same. Because of the unique ability of gaseous fuels to flex up and meet demand, even on the coldest days, Roger sees a long-term future for gas. He explains how natural gas can become cleaner over time through a broad set of measures, such as increasing the amount of renewable natural gas (RNG) and clean hydrogen and efficiency measures that use less natural gas.  Here are some of the questions that Peter and Jackie asked Roger: What is the outlook for the supply and demand of electricity in BC? How will Site C hydroelectric demand change the market? Is BC too reliant on hydro, considering concerns around drought? Why has BC recently decided to launch a call for renewable power from large-scale wind and solar farms? What is RNG and how much potential supply is there? How are you involving Indigenous partners in your projects? What are your thoughts on the Clean Electricity Regulations targeting net zero electricity by 2035? Considering Atlantic Canada's exception from the retail carbon tax for heating oil, could this be the beginning of the end for the retail carbon tax in Canada?  Other content referenced in this podcast:  Other content referenced in this podcast:  The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP)'s Data Centre FortisBC's Clean Growth Pathway to 2050 BC Renewable and Low-Carbon Gas Supply Potential Study Pathways for British Columbia to Achieve its GHG Reduction Goals  Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/  Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinst LinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas Podcast Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Amazon Music Spotify 

Is renewable natural gas the silver bullet for a greener future or a complex puzzle yet to be solved? While many industrial and natural gas companies have looked to RNG as a potential solution to decarbonize their operations, the fuel source is not without some issues.Paul examines how RNG is made, used and contributes to decarbonization goals. But he also looks at how and why some of those claims may not fully stand up under scrutiny.For futher research:The Four Fatal Flaws of Renewable Natural Gas - Sightline InstituteRenewable natural gas: A Swiss army knife for US decarbonization? - McKinseyAn Introduction to Renewable Natural Gas - EPAMassachusetts DPU Order 20-80 Follow Paul on LinkedIn.

Natural gas used to heat our homes, cook our meals and sometimes even to move our cars comprises mainly of Methane - a know greenhouse gas. While we go on this journey to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and green house gasses, there needs to be a sustainable alternative to conventional natural gas. The anaerobic activities in landfills creates Renewable Natural Gas (RNG). RNG is a hundred percent match to conventional natural gas and can thus be piped and supplied using the existing natural gas distribution pipelines. We talk with Grant Gibson, co-founder and CDO of Synthica Energy - that does exactly that. Their anaerobic digestion facilities receive industrial food wastes, organic by-products, brewery washout and they use them to produce biogas for commercial power plants.

This week, Geoff Dietz with the Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas (RNG Coalition) joins Ben Cahill with the CSIS Energy Security and Climate Change Program to discuss renewable natural gas (RNG). RNG is a domestic clean energy resource derived from the capture, cleaning, and conditioning of methane and other gaseous emissions from organic waste. Landfill projects and agricultural projects, particularly in dairy states, are the main sources of RNG production. Geoff and Ben discuss the future of RNG production, where demand for RNG is rising, and the potential economic and environmental benefits of RNG for the United States. 

In this episode of Birthplace of Next Andrew Estevez with the City's Office of Communications and Public Affairs talks with Meg Maloney, Sustainability Manager for the City, about the recently approved renewable natural gas project.

The new system captures methane and other greenhouse gases from the Regional Landfill in Suffolk and processes them into renewable natural gas.

Renewable Natural Gas – also known as RNG or biomethane — has gained attention in recent years as a lower-carbon replacement for conventional fossil natural gas. Rising demand for RNG has helped push prices for the associated environmental attributes up to anywhere from five to forty times the price of physical natural gas. As the market has grown, so has the need for transparent pricing. In response, S&P Global Commodity Insights launched first-of-kind pricing for landfill gas RNG for the California and outside-of-California markets in May.  What supports those premiums for RNG and how does S&P Global see demand for this low-carbon gas alternative developing in the future? Kelsey Hallahan, team lead for low carbon commodities, discusses with low carbon pricing analyst Hope Raymond, senior biofuels analyst Jamie Dorner, and senior director for the S&P Global Hydrogen and Renewable Gas Forum Alex Klaessig.

Every community across the globe produces waste. This waste can come from landfills, decomposing food, animal manure, and wastewater sludge. As this waste decomposes, it emits natural gas – primarily composed of methane, which is a naturally occurring but very potent and harmful greenhouse gas. In fact, methane is nearly 30 times more potent at trapping heat in our atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) projects capture this methane before it harms our environment and repurposes it to create clean and reliable energy that is used to generate electricity, power our vehicles, heat our homes, cook our food, and many other productive purposes. In this episode, Chad and Gil speak with Michael Bakas, Executive Vice President at Ameresco, a leading cleantech integrator specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy. Michael details the various RNG production pathways and revenue streams, discusses his views on RNG market growth drivers, and makes a compelling case for the essential role of RNG in the energy transition. Links: Michael Bakas Bio Ameresco White Paper: Making Your Organization Carbon Neutral with Renewable Natural GasAmeresco White Paper: Beyond Hydrogen: Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) & Deep DecarbonizationAmeresco Case Study: BMW Landfill Gas to Energy, SCRNG CoalitionEpisode recorded May 4, 2023Email your feedback to Chad, Gil, and Hilary at climatepositive@hasi.com or tweet them to @ClimatePosiPod.

Since the Industrial Revolution nearly 150 years ago, global average temperatures have increased by more than 1 degree C (1.9 degrees F), with the majority of that warming occurring since 1975. But during these recent decades of accelerated warming, temperatures in the arctic (latitudes above 66 degrees north) have have been rising even faster - nearly four times faster than the average global rate. The most readily observable impact of such intensive localized warming has been the rapid melting of the Greenland ice sheet, which is significant enough to be turning heads of even stalwart climate skeptics. But a less discussed (and perhaps even more dangerous) positive feedback to the warming planet is the rate at which permafrost is melting due to the quickly elevating arctic temperatures.Dr. Susan Natali, Arctic Program Director and senior scientist at the Woodwell Climate Research Center, sat down with Climate Now to teach us about permafrost: what it is, why it is disappearing, and the potentially drastic - and so far barely accounted for - impact it can have on greenhouse gas emissions. Listen to find out why tackling decreasing global greenhouse gas emissions as fast as possible is likely even more urgent than we thought.Follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.Contact us at contact@climatenow.comVisit our website for all of our content and sources for each episode.

In this episode Neil and Will have a conversation with Tom Gellrich of the H2-CCS Network and Co-Organizer of the 2023 Appalachian Renewable Natural Gas Conference.  Renewable Natural Gas or RNG is different in that instead of extracting materials from the earth, it is the conversion of waste and other organic materials into energy - combating climate change along the way.  Take a listen as Tom speaks to the RNG Conference and the opportunities in Appalachia in regards to the growing market.  You also might hear Neil's energy for the episode and how he now has justification in regards to his own waste.  Also, don't forget the #AppBiz of the week: New Frontier!

A bill limiting abortion to six weeks of pregnancy is on its way to becoming law in Florida; state legislators want to expand the use of renewable natural gas; Jax River Jams; and What's Good Wednesday.

Renewable natural gas (RNG), made from the decomposition of organic waste like livestock manure, is not necessarily net-zero if it's burned to run a turbine or drive a car. But what if the RNG is not burned, but is rather pyrolyzed, breaking it down into hydrogen and another product called "carbon black," an essential component of car tires, among other things? Then the hydrogen can be used and the carbon black can be sold in solid form instead of releasing the carbon into the atmosphere. From its Nebraska-based plant, Monolith converts renewable methane into both green hydrogen and carbon black using the world's largest plasma torch (more about that in the episode). Now they are developing a commercial clean hydrogen operation, which they will use to create ammonia to sell for fertilizer. Join us for our conversation with Monolith co-founder and CEO Rob Hanson to learn about methane pyrolysis, the markets for carbon-negative industrial products, and how the Inflation Reduction Act is supporting green (or clean) hydrogen production processes (like Monolith's) in the United States.Follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.Contact us at contact@climatenow.comVisit our website for all of our content and sources for each episode.

Landfills, dairy farms and wastewater plants all emit methane, the potent greenhouse gas produced when organic material decomposes in the absence of oxygen.  But instead of emitting that methane (often called biomethane or waste methane), it's possible to capture and refine it, resulting in renewable natural gas, or RNG. Capturing methane that would have been emitted anyway (something that's still up for debate) creates RNG that's carbon neutral or carbon negative. And using that RNG to displace fossil-fuel derived natural gas can cut overall emissions. Big players in energy are betting big on RNG. Last fall BP acquired RNG producer Archaea for $4.1 billion, Shell bought Nature Energy for $2 billion and NextEra purchased $1.1 billion in RNG assets from Energy Power Partners. So what's behind this recent flurry of activity? And to what extent could RNG actually offset carbon emissions?  In this episode, Shayle talks to Brandon Moffatt, cofounder of Stormfisher, an RNG and hydrogen producer. They cover topics like: RNG feedstocks like dairy farms, wastewater treatment plants, and landfills How much waste methane is available for RNG How different feedstocks determine RNG's carbon intensity Government subsidies like the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) Recommended Resources:  Environmental Research Letters: At scale, renewable natural gas systems could be climate intensive: the influence of methane feedstock and leakage rates Bloomberg: The Gas Industry's Survival Plan: Make Fuel From Cow Poop Vox: The false promise of “renewable natural gas” CBC: Renewable natural gas could help slow climate change, but by how much?

Gevo Inc (NASDAQ:GEVO) CEO Patrick Gruber tells Proactive the group has closed a $68,155,000 “Green Bond” private activity bonds offering to finance the construction of its renewable natural gas (RNG) project in Northwest Iowa. Gruber says the project will generate RNG captured from dairy cow manure, or what's called feedstock. The feedstock for the RNG project will be supplied by three dairy farms in northwest Iowa involving over 20,000 milking cows. When fully operational, the RNG project is expected to generate about 355,000 MMBtu of RNG per year.

Renewable natural gas (RNG) produced from diverted landfill waste is now flowing into SoCalGas' pipeline system from Anaergia's Rialto Bioenergy Facility.

We continue the RENEWables series, “An Insider's Look at America's Evolving Waste Economy,” with BioStar's Peter Goehausen and learn how companies entrenched in the Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) industry are equally as connected to the Waste to Energy sector. Reimagining waste streams to create products that are reengineered into valuable assets, is not only environmentally beneficial but a major economic driver. We spotlight BioStar's San Bernardino WtE plant and demonstrate how it helps CA businesses adhere to state mandates to reduce carbon emissions, while generating electricity and gas from renewable energy sources like Biogas. This discussion breaks down the complex RNG industry and provides a basic market framework for how clean energy and Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCSF) programs are shaping the U.S. economy.
