note about biogas availability

Posted by Morgan White on October 2, 2019

I checked again with our market advisor for natural gas purchases, and they are not aware of anyone that produces biogas and injects it into the gas pipeline. They are going to do some additional checking and will follow back up if they find something.

The did note that we could purchase environmental assets (RECs) associated with renewable gas that is produced. They are going to provide an overview summary of what this market looks like and what these type of RECs would cost.

I also came across the attached website from DOE that I thought might interest you about renewable gas production.

This site also have a link to a BioFuels atlas which was interesting as well.
