Description

Mission & Vision

RNG Coalition advocates and educates for sustainable development, deployment and utilization of renewable natural gas so that present and future generations will have access to domestic, renewable, clean fuel and energy.

Sustainable Methane Abatement & Recycling Timeline (SMART) is our initiative to capture and control methane produced from the 43,000+ aggregated organic waste sites in North America by 2050, achieving meaningful benchmarks by 2025, 2030 and 2040.
 

Education & Advocacy

RNG Coalition is a non-profit organization dedicated to the sustainable advancement of renewable natural gas (RNG) as a clean, green, alternative and domestic energy resource – and as a key component and partial solution to addressing global climate change.

RNG Coalition was formed to provide an education platform and advocacy voice for the protection, preservation and promotion of the renewable natural gas industry in North America.

Advocacy and education inform public policy. Public policies influence markets. Markets drive demand. Demand determines value. Value impacts revenue. Revenue correlates with sustainability.

Through effective advocacy and education we protect and expand existing markets, and created additional and diverse market demand for RNG.

We support RNG produced from all feedstocks, using competing and sustainable technologies for all sustainable end-use applications.
