3 reasons rng is decarbonizing trucking today

BY GREG ROCHE, VP OF SUSTAINABILITY AT CLEAN ENERGY FUELS Trucking companies, and the shippers that hire trucking companies, are making bold commitments to cut their carbon footprint — such

as becoming net zero by 2030. After the commitments are made, the hard work begins — hard work because achieving net zero or better requires more than operational improvements.  New business

practices and cost-effective alternative technologies are needed to move beyond even the cleanest diesel platform. Renewable natural gas (RNG) has emerged as the leading pathway for

low-carbon, clean air trucking. There are three compelling reasons why RNG is helping sustainable companies decarbonize their transportation today. RNG IS THE LOWEST CARBON TRANSPORTATION

FUEL AVAILABLE RNG is derived from organic material found in green waste, food waste, landfills, sewage treatment and livestock manure. These organic wastes naturally decompose into methane.

Methane that leaks into the atmosphere is a potent short-lived climate pollutant and greenhouse gas. Rather than releasing into the atmosphere, methane can be captured and converted into a

drop-in replacement fuel for conventional natural gas.  TO CONTINUE READING THIS ARTICLE... ALREADY HAVE AN ACCOUNT? SIGN IN CREATE A FREE ACCOUNT No payment required NEED HELP? CONTACT US
