Every day, landfills nationwide generate Methane—a potent greenhouse gas that, if left unchecked, contributes to climate change. I see Methane not as a problem, but as an opportunity. Renewable natural gas (RNG) from landfills is one of the most efficient ways to turn waste into clean energy, reducing emissions while delivering reliable, economically advantageous fuel options. Why does Nopetro Energy partner with municipalities and invest in landfill gas-to-RNG public partnership projects (PPP)? Because the impact is undeniable: 🔹 Methane is 28x more potent than CO₂ over a 100-year period, making its capture critical for emission reductions. (US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)) 🔹 Landfills are the third-largest source of methane emissions in the U.S., accounting for about 15% of all Methane released. (EPA) 🔹 RNG from landfills can reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 95% compared to diesel. (Argonne National Laboratory) 🔹 The number of landfill RNG projects has grown from 84 in 2022 to over 100 in 2023, and momentum is building. (EPA) 🔹 RNG is a drop-in fuel—it integrates with existing pipelines and fleet infrastructure, requiring no costly conversions. 🔹 Public-private partnerships are driving success—helping municipalities monetize landfill emissions while supplying sustainable energy. But developers can’t do it alone. Scaling landfill RNG requires strong partnerships—with municipalities, utilities, and fleet operators that recognize the value of turning emissions into energy. Public-private collaborations accelerate RNG production while delivering economic and environmental benefits to local communities. The solution is already here. With the right incentives and partnerships, we can maximize landfill RNG’s impact—transforming waste into a resource and building a more sustainable energy future.

The financial payoff of renewable natural gas (RNG) turns trash into treasure and waste into wealth.   Businesses and governments continuously seek cost-effective, sustainable solutions to energy challenges. RNG is more than a cleaner fuel – it’s a financial opportunity.   At its heart, RNG captures methane emissions from landfills, dairy farms, and wastewater treatment facilities – emissions that would otherwise go into the air – and turns them into a valuable energy source. This not only reduces environmental harm but creates a marketable commodity, fuels vehicles, powers businesses and heats homes.   Through Public-Private Partnerships (P3s), RNG production brings financial and operational benefits to the public sector and leverages private-sector innovation. By working together, municipalities can reduce waste management costs, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and generate additional revenue from RNG sales. Businesses get a reliable, domestic energy source and reduce their dependence on volatile foreign fuel markets.   The economic benefits of RNG go beyond the immediate savings. Local economies grow as RNG projects create jobs and infrastructure and attract investment.   Waste-to-energy is proof that we can re-imagine waste management – not as a liability but as an asset. It’s a win-win-win for private industry, the public sector, and the general public.   And there are plenty of examples of this across the country and around the world. https://lnkd.in/dkFeyzEE   https://lnkd.in/dwNmketv https://lnkd.in/eiYQVqjD   #PublicPrivatePartnerships #PPP #RenewableNaturalGas #NopetroEnergy

In 2025 and beyond, renewable natural gas (RNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) is the road to more profitable, cleaner trucking. Recently, I penned an article for Fleet Maintenance magazine (link below) titled, “The Case for RNG Trucking,” which outlined many reasons why RNG/CNG continues to gain traction for fleets, regardless of fluctuating support of environmental and ecological initiatives; it’s cheaper and cleaner. That makes it more valuable and desirable for companies to create products that use it. In today’s competitive trucking industry, managing costs is crucial. RNG/CNG offers fleet operators a clear path to significant savings and operational efficiency—without compromising performance. RNG/CNG consistently outperforms diesel cost-effectively, and RNG/CNG-powered vehicles perform on par with diesel in range, torque, horsepower, and reliability. That’s why trucking manufacturers like Freightliner, Kenworth Truck Co. and others continue to produce RNG trucks that can leverage the existing natural gas fueling infrastructure, and that’s why Nopetro Energy continues to make strides in refining wasted natural gas resources and providing access to cheaper, cleaner fuel options for the trucking industry. This transition is seamless and cost-effective.   It doesn’t hurt that beyond the financial benefits, RNG/CNG is a powerful tool for sustainability. By capturing methane emissions from landfills, farms, and wastewater facilities, RNG/CNG is a carbon-negative fuel that helps companies meet environmental targets while supporting the circular economy. RNG/CNG stands out as a proven, ready-to-deploy option as the trucking industry moves toward more cost-effective solutions that are cleaner, and this is expected to expand in 2025 and beyond...

Why are commercial fleets switching to RNG across North America? From Quebec to Florida, commercial fleets are realizing the financial and environmental benefits of switching to renewable natural gas (RNG) trucking fleets. Major trucking manufacturers like Kenworth Truck Co., Peterbilt Motors Company, Freightliner, and others are now offering heavy-duty RNG-powered trucks, providing fleet owners with reliable, diesel-like performance while significantly reducing emissions and fuel costs. What’s interesting is RNG often has negative carbon intensity meaning it removes more carbon from the air through capture than it puts in. The numbers back it up: California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard gave biobased compressed natural gas a carbon intensity score of -126.42, the cleanest transportation fuel out there. For fleet owners, that doesn’t just mean environmental impact but significant financial gain. Switching to RNG fleets reduces fuel costs substantially and allows companies to use existing natural gas infrastructure with minimal disruption to business. At Nopetro Energy, we’re helping make the transition happen by providing RNG solutions to help commercial fleets: ·      Lower fuel costs and long-term savings ●     Reduce big carbon intensity ●     Seamlessly use existing natural gas infrastructure ●     Support corporate ESG goals with economically sound decision-making That's why fleets across North America are switching to RNG -- improving their bottom line and the planet. https://lnkd.in/erufxThW #FleetManagement #RNG #CNG #Trucking #NopetroEnergy #Cummins15LCNG

Public-private partnerships (P3s) are key to renewable energy adoption. As the world's urgent need for energy grows, P3s have become the key to accelerating the transition to pragmatic renewable energy. These partnerships bring together the strengths of the public sector – regulatory frameworks and large project funding demands – with the agility and innovation of the private sector to deploy infrastructure faster. We have seen firsthand at Nopetro Energy how partnering with government agencies can develop renewable natural gas (RNG) projects. For over a decade, through our P3s, we have designed, financed, and operated 100% RNG sourced  CNG fueling stations for essential service providers like transit agencies, refuse companies, and school districts.   The key benefits of P3s in renewable energy include: ●     Additional, previously untapped, revenue streams for municipalities ●     Long-term energy for essential services and industries ●     100% finance, construction, and operational risk transfer to the private sector ●     Faster deployment of utility grid hardening infrastructure ●     Reduced carbon and community resilience Recent data shows the potential of these partnerships. Municipal landfills and wastewater treatment plants account for more than 75% of the feedstock used in renewable natural gas production. However, only a fraction of these facilities currently capture biogas for energy use, suggesting significant untapped opportunities for P3s to expand RNG production. In fact, Deloitte estimated recently that renewable natural gas from waste could replace up to 4.4% of current U.S. fossil gas demand, demonstrating the immense potential of scaling these partnerships. By continuing to foster these partnerships, we can make the renewable energy transition more achievable, affordable, and beneficial for everyone involved. https://lnkd.in/eiYQVqjD https://lnkd.in/e8kMB8hz #PublicPrivatePartnership #PPP #NaturalGas #Sustainability #RNG #NopetroEnergy
