The purchase of renewable natural gas has the additional benefit of a providing a carbon offset for the destruction of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas known to contribute to climate change.
GreenGas will install equipment to capture the escaping methane from vegetable waste lagoons, process the gas to meet heat content and chemical makeup standards of pipeline natural gas, and inject it into existing interstate pipelines.
GreenGasUSA will involve vegetable waste that is currently decomposing in lagoons and is emitting gaseous methane directly into the atmosphere.
