A #sustainable approach to addressing #climatechange and our #energyfuture requires a diverse portfolio of solutions, not just reliance on a select few technologies. And the right policy frameworks to create investment certainty are critical in supporting innovation to drive the transition to a #lowcarbon future. Further development of the #renewablenaturalgas (#RNG) industry offers significant potential for capture and beneficial use of #biogas, with environmental, health and economic benefits across the United States. Pioneering decarbonization development isn’t new for EDL. Having entered the US in 1997, EDL has grown significantly and invested more than US$750m to merge two mature landfill gas to electricity businesses with our existing business; and develop a portfolio of RNG plants, including the Wood Road facility (pictured) near Lansing, Michigan, that will celebrate two years of operations next month. EDL has capacity to produce up to 7 million mmBtu per year of RNG from facilities in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Texas, which is used to decarbonize the transport sector and industry - displacing fossil derived natural gas in the natural gas distribution network and helping to decarbonize hard to abate industrial processes. According to the Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas, there are now 300 RNG facilities operating in North America, with another 176 under construction and another 313 more being planned. But with another 43,000 waste sites identified across the US that could be fitted with methane capturing RNG infrastructure over coming decades, the potential to do more is enormous. We look forward to helping to realize that potential. #renewableenergy #RNG #biogas
