Turn Your Farm or Landfill into a Renewable Energy Source

Plant and animal waste from landfills and farms naturally creates methane gas—it's a byproduct of decomposing waste.  So, instead of having to find a way to dispose of that smelly waste from farms and landfills, the gas from that decomposition can be captured and added to the natural gas supply.    

Unlike regular natural gas, gas captured from waste decomposition is considered renewable because the source of the gas is continually produced. There’s a plentiful supply of animal and landfill waste and the gas it produces is easy to capture with low environmental risk.  

GES can help you turn your waste into energy, potentially offsetting your operating costs and lowering your carbon footprint in line with government tax credits and regulations. Contact us today to get started! 

How Does RNG Become CNG?

Raw Renewable Natural Gas, gathered from farms and landfills, is methane, which the fuel industry calls biogas. In order to be usable in vehicles or homes, purified methane must be packaged under pressure to make it usable as a fuel. This pressurized product is called Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). It’s a pipeline-quality vehicle fuel that qualifies as an advanced biofuel under the Renewable Fuel Standard. Most importantly, it can be used to fill fuel tanks. 

However, Not all CNG is renewable energy. CNG made from fossil fuels is not renewable—those supplies can be depleted and cause environmental concerns. Only CNG made from RNG is renewable. That’s an important consideration when you’re working to be an Earth-friendly steward of natural resources. 

THE ABCs of RNG & CNG

​What do all those letters mean, anyway?

Biogas

Biogas

A mixture of methane gas and other elements that come from decomposing plant and animal waste.

RNG

RNG

Renewable Natural Gas is biogas that has been cleaned and purified.

CNG

CNG

Compressed Natural Gas is RNG that has been compressed under pressure.

LNG

LNG

Liquid Natural Gas is RNG that has been chilled to form a liquid. (GES doesn’t sell LNG, but people are always asking if RNG is LNG.)
