The Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas, a trade association representing the North American renewable natural gas industry, now represents more than 150 member companies and organisations and adds more than 20 members per year on average.
Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas passes 150-member milestone

The trade association is seven years old and its growth mirrors the annual growth in American renewable natural gas (RNG) supply and demand. The Coalition began in July 2011 with seven members. At the time there were just 31 operating RNG projects in North America. Today, there are 85 production facilities, with dozens more under construction or development.

“Through effectively coalescing the renewable natural gas industry in North America, we have created a credible advocacy voice that is globally respected, and achieved state and federal policies that recognise the environmental and economic benefits of RNG” said RNG Coalition CEO and co-founder Johannes Escudero. “Working together, the RNG industry has built more production facilities in the last seven years than in the prior thirty years.”

RNG Coalition co-founder David Cox added that there is tremendous momentum in the movement to decarbonise North America’s natural gas supply through RNG, one example being Smithfield Foods, which has recently committed to a landmark investment to reduce greenhouse gases from agricultural waste. It will do this by converting existing manure lagoons to covered digesters and upgrading the resulting biogas to RNG, a move praised by the Environmental Defense Fund.

The eight new members represent the broad value-chain of the RNG industry. They include engineering and consulting firm Bartlett & West, law firm Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton, Northeast Gas Association, and WGL.

Significant growth in RNG production and adoption has attracted international technology providers and manufacturers. New members include German-based EnviTec Biogas, Portuguese company SysAdvance, and publicly-traded multinational company Ingevity.
