This guidance document from the World Resources Institute provides state policymakers with a framework for evaluating the use of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)—also referred to as biomethane or upgraded biogas—as a tool for meeting climate, waste management, and sustainability objectives.

This briefing by the American Gas Foundation, presented to Congressional staff, outlines the potential of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) as a carbon-neutral energy source derived from biomass, landfills, and wastewater treatment facilities. It highlights RNG's versatility across multiple sectors, its compatibility with existing pipeline infrastructure, and its potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create jobs.

This working paper examines the use of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) produced from organic waste as a vehicle fuel in the United States to reduce the carbon footprint of vehicle fleets and achieve greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions compared to fossil fuels.

This briefing by the World Resources Institute outlines opportunities for bilateral cooperation between the United States and China to reduce methane emissions, specifically focusing on the agriculture and waste/wastewater sectors. It identifies specific technical areas for R&D, the potential for remote sensing collaboration, and the role of economic and regulatory incentives in driving mitigation.
