| Title |
Renewable natural gas: a sustainable approach to the energy transition |
| Date |
2022 |
| Description |
Renewable natural gas (RNG) offers a new and promising energy source that will help decarbonize a portion of Utah's energy mix. RNG feedstocks include waste streams from livestock, landfills, and food. By recycling these waste streams Utah will avoid the release of methane, which has a climate warming potential 25-34 times greater than carbon dioxide. Analysts estimate that Utah RNG volumes could supply 4% of Utah's fossil natural gas demand. In addition, fuel switching in 2025 at the Intermountain Power Plant will increase green hydrogen availability. |
