How Does it Work?

Capturing Methane from the Farm

As hog manure breaks down, it produces methane gas. Instead of allowing methane to enter the atmosphere, it’s captured in an anaerobic digester.

Converting Methane to RNG

The methane captured from multiple farms is sent to a central conditioning facility, where it is refined to 99% pure methane, the same as traditional natural gas.

Delivering to Homes & Businesses

The RNG is then put into an existing distribution system to serve homes, businesses, power plants and other natural gas consumers.
