We are pleased to announce that we have selected Waga Energy to produce Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) at our City of Beaumont Landfill facility. The RNG will be used to support our increased production of #OCIHyfuels green methanol. A key pillar for the energy transition, RNG is a local, renewable energy source that can substitute fossil natural gas: 💫 The RNG will be produced via a gas collection system on the City of Beaumont Landfill to recover the landfill gas spontaneously produced by organic waste. This gas will be upgraded into RNG through a WAGABOX® unit and injected into the nearby gas infrastructure. 💚 The facility will avoid up to 27,440 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions annually, equal to cutting the emissions from 2.8 million gallons of gasoline per year.* 🌟 As well as reducing CO2eq emissions, obtaining biogas from landfill captures and uses methane that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere. Over a 20-year period, methane has a global warming potential that is 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide. 🌍 The project is the first of its kind in the United States, and another pioneering step in OCI Global's strategy to decarbonize our production and supply more low carbon products.
