The Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) space is one that is growing at a rapid, steady pace – and not surprisingly! If sustainability and innovation aren’t enough to draw you in, the RIN credit pricing trajectory and other incentives will. Many legacy landfill/plant owners have started purchasing new assets with the intent of converting them into RNG processing facilities to either upgrade and sell or continue producing RNG. The idea of “plant-flipping” is not new; after all, if you’ve already got experience with operating and owning a plant, this should be no different, right?
The Challenge
While it is certainly true that RNG is a lucrative renewables subindustry, it’s also true that there are some potential complications to getting started and operating an RNG facility efficiently, even for the most experienced plant owners. Some issues include complications with integrating process equipment and their accompanying technology, trouble operating at the efficiency required to get the desired ROI, and difficulty standardizing approaches/technology throughout an entire organization, to name a few. Proper landfill operations strategies, solid gas processing ideals, as well as top tier controls and automation are some of the components required for an efficient operation.
