Please join us for a discussion about
current trends in Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) regulation and compliance.
RNG is a pipeline-quality gas that is fully interchangeable with conventional
natural gas and comes from biogenic sources such as food waste, garden and lawn
clippings, and animal and plant-based material. Gas utilities are looking at
options to decarbonize the energy delivered to customers. Learn about emerging
law and policies related to RNG development in Minnesota and around the
country.
