RNG is a pipeline-quality gas, composed primarily of methane, which is created from renewable sources such as decomposing natural waste material, either from a landfill, a dairy farm, or a water treatment plant. RNG is completely interchangeable with conventional natural gas, and as such, it can be processed and purified, then added to the existing pipeline infrastructure.
