Transforming waste emissions into RNG
Archaea, independently and through joint ventures, operates across the country – including in California, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin. Its facilities capture biogas from waste and then use it to generate renewable electricity or convert the fuel to renewable natural gas (RNG) for the market.
How we do it
We partner with landfill and farm owners to capture naturally recurring emissions from their waste.
The organic waste material generates biogas, which can be transformed to create low carbon RNG.
The resulting RNG can be piped through existing infrastructure as a low carbon energy source to help reduce carbon footprints.
What is biogas and renewable natural gas, or RNG?
Biogas is produced when organic material decomposes in anaerobic conditions. Using proven membrane gas separation technology, biogas can be processed to remove impurities and separate CO2 to produce high-Btu, pipeline-quality RNG, which is a low carbon replacement for traditional fossil fuel-based natural gas.
Sources of biogas for potential RNG production include landfills, animal manure, and separated organic waste. Landfills are the largest of these sources and provide an attractive feedstock for RNG because of their predictable, long-term production profile.
RNG can be used interchangeably with fossil fuel-based natural gas. It is often used as a replacement for diesel fuel in vehicles, for power generation, and as a heating source in buildings. It also has industrial applications and can also be used as a feedstock for renewable hydrogen.
