Foreword
Renewable natural gas (RNG) is upgraded
and cleaned gas from decomposition of biogenic materials, e.g. manure, landfill
waste, food waste or crop residues. This RNG (or biomethane) can be used to
displace fossil fuels such transport fuels for heavy vehicles or injected into
the natural gas network to replace fossil gas. Collecting this biologically
produced methane before it is emitted during decomposition is beneficial as
methane has a high greenhouse gas potential and this benefit is further
improved by displacing fossil based carbon emissions. RNG is often used to
refer to gas collected from landfill sites which has been upgraded for use,
rather than flared or combusted in situ, to generate power.
In the UK, CNH Industrial has taken a majority share in Bennamann, a
company which specialises in capture, storage and use of fugitive agricultural
methane emissions. CNH and Bennamann have been in partnership since...
