CO2 utilization at biogas plants to decrease overall carbon footprint of RNG

What should be done with the CO2 that is separated from the biogas during its upgradation to RNG? It can either be emitted to the atmosphere, can be stored underground or it can even be converted to useful products.

Using different processes & synthesis - chemical, electrochemical, microbial and biochemical - CO2 can become the feedstock to produce a range of chemicals and fuels, including methane!
