The pairing of compressed natural gas with renewable natural gas enables 3. Using renewable natural gas not only reduces emissions, but also creates jobs and economic opportunities Carl emphasized that Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) are effective customer solutions for high mileage fleets and heavy transit vehicles.
