WHAT ARe
CNG & RNG?

RNG (Renewable Natural Gas)  RNG, also known as biomethane, is a gaseous alternative fuel made from decomposing organic materials—such as waste from landfills and livestock—and is primarily composed of methane. It is odorless and must be compressed in a gasification process for use in heavy equipment and transportation vehicles. The biogas used to produce RNG is conditioned and purified by way of a process called anaerobic digestion.  It is a pipeline-quality fuel product that is being adopted within many transport and heavy equipment fleets as they transition to renewable fuels.

Differences between CNG & RNG— Though RNG is chemically identical to conventional natural gas, RNG is not a fossil-derived fuel. It is produced through a completely renewable process that captures methane emissions from organic waste. Depending on feedstock, RNG has a very low lifecycle carbon intensity when compared to diesel.

BENEFITS OF CNG & RNG

  • Interchangeable and pipeline quality
  • Reduces GHG emissions by up to 200% over traditional diesel
  • Can achieve carbon negative GHG emissions (wheel-to-well)

*Disclaimer: Lifecycle GHG emissions refer to the emissions that occur during each stage of the fuel’s lifecycle, including but not limited to the production, transportation and end-use of the fuel. Any emissions values referenced are based on carbon intensity (gCO2e/MJ) figures provided by 4Refuel Suppliers for each low carbon fuel type and are subject to change. The GHG emissions reductions are calculated by comparing the Carbon Intensity of the lower carbon fuels blends sold to the baseline Carbon Intensity of conventional diesel of 93 gCO2 e/MJ (as published in Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations).
