Renewable Natural Gas

Decarbonize your natural gas usage today.

Vergent will help you determine the best option for your facility and procure a long-term fuel supply contract to maximize your organization’s ROI and/or sustainability initiatives.

Overview

Do you want to decarbonize your natural gas usage by blending in or switching over to Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)?

Sources of RNG originate from solid waste landfills, wastewater treatment facilities, and livestock farms to name a few examples. RNG can be distributed using existing natural gas distribution systems, making procurement a fast and effective part of your decarbonization strategy.

Many organizations have aggressive electrification goals for their facilities, which can require significant capital expenditure and effort to implement. RNG is an easier to implement alternative in the interim to meet corporate objectives.

Vergent can help you determine the best option for your facility and procure a long-term fuel supply contract to maximize your organization’s ROI and/or sustainability initiatives.

Fuel Decarbonization with RNG

Vergent uses its exclusive rights to RNG supply sources to provide both voluntary and regulated natural gas users with a low to negative carbon alternative to natural gas. Building owners can decarbonize their heating systems without any capital investment. Electrifying HVAC equipment is costly and leaves building owners exposed to HVAC failure in the event of a grid outage. Switching to RNG requires no capital investment and enables the heating system to operate independently of the power grid.

How it works

Vergent can help you determine the best option for your facility and procure a long-term fuel supply contract to maximize your organization’s ROI and/or sustainability initiatives. We source RNG for customers throughout North America. We also source CNG for fuel switching from oil or propane.

Our background with biogas has enabled VPS to develop relationships with RNG project owners/developers, gas marketers, policymakers and end customers to ensure physical delivery of RNG is feasible and meets state and local compliance pathways. We are a direct to 3rd party provider.

Benefits

Carbon Reduction At Scale

Procure more RNG as you need, to ensure your organization is meeting its decarbonization goals. We offer RNG at varying carbon-intensities to provide you with more options.

Regulatory Compliance

Many states are mandating GHG emission reductions to meet environmental goals. RNG can help you to reduce your carbon intensity faster and avoid penalties.

No Capital Required

Using RNG is simple - Our producers inject RNG through existing natural gas pipeline networks so that you can use this substitute that is virtually indistinguishable from natural gas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our background with biogas has enabled VPS to develop relationships with RNG project owners/developers, gas marketers, policymakers and end users to ensure physical delivery of RNG is feasible and meets state and local compliance pathways. We are a direct-to-3rd-party provider.

What’s the difference between biogas, biomethane, and RNG?

Biogas is the raw gas produced by the breakdown of organic materials in an oxygen-free (anaerobic) environment. After removal of contaminants and other gases, biogas becomes RNG, which is typically 90%+ methane. Biomethane is another name for RNG.

Where do you source your RNG?

RNG feedstocks are comprised of waste streams from livestock, landfills, wastewater treatment plants and food. Recycling these waste streams avoids
the release of methane, which has global warming potential 28–34
times greater than carbon dioxide. The RNG that we provide primarily comes from landfills, livestock operations and waste water treatment plants across the U.S.

Can I use RNG with my microturbine?

Yes! RNG can be used with microturbines to make existing systems even more clean and green.
