Anew Climate, Summit Carbon Solutions Advance Megaton CO2 Removal Project
Renewable Natural Gas, or RNG, is produced by landfills, wastewater treatment plants, and agricultural activities like swine and dairy farming. These operations generate high volumes of organic waste which produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 25 times higher than carbon dioxide. That same methane, when captured and purified, can be converted to a clean-burning, renewable, pipeline quality fuel that is much less carbon-intensive than traditional fossil-derived natural gas. RNG can replace fossil fuel in any natural gas application, including powering vehicles, generating power, and heating homes.
Not only does renewable natural gas (RNG) replace fossil fuels with renewable fuels, but the capture and upgrading of biogas from landfills, wastewater, manure, and other sources also prevents methane from leaking into the atmosphere. Methane is one of the most potent GHGs, so its capture and management are key to climate goals.
Anew’s RNG group is the leading full-service biomethane marketing firm in North America. We specialize in state and federal transportation fuel credit programs and take a client-first perspective – working to ensure complete compliance, transactional transparency and revenue opportunities. Our in-house expertise ranges from project-level support through generation and monetization of environmental credits, allowing our clients to take advantage of premium markets while minimizing execution risks.
Renewable fuel attributes associated with RNG, such as Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) and Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits, require integrity and diligence to ensure their legitimacy and reduce revocation risk. All of Anew’s RINs and LCFS credits undergo rigorous internal scrutiny following our well-established processes. In addition to the expert due diligence applied by our internal team, independent third-party verification is also offered on many products.
Anew delivers a single solution for RNG marketing, credit generation, regulatory and compliance activities, and credit sales. Our organization is dedicated to maximizing revenue opportunities for clients with customized strategies designed to meet your objectives and goals while optimizing market opportunities.
Anew representatives will be in attendance and available for meetings.

"Fuel Marketers & Retailers Perspectives"
Anew is North America’s leading independent marketer of renewable natural gas (RNG), connecting RNG producers with buyers seeking cleaner energy.
Anew is North America’s leading independent marketer of renewable natural gas (RNG), connecting RNG producers with buyers seeking cleaner energy. RNG is a renewable fuel resulting from the capture and purification of methane from landfills, wastewater treatment plants, and livestock farms and serves as a low-carbon one to one replacement for geologic natural gas, suitable for heating and cooling, electricity generation, and transportation. Once RNG has been produced, it is typically injected into existing natural gas infrastructure, such as gas pipelines.
Many people new to low carbon fuels seek to understand how low carbon or negative carbon intensity RNG can be tracked and delivered as a renewable product once the gas molecules are in the grid and combine with gas from geologic sources. The answer is an instrument known as an environmental attribute. The conveyance, sale and retirement of environmental attributes allows for the environmental benefits associated with the renewable fuel purchase to be more easily tracked and transferred, while retaining the integrity of the carbon emission reduction claims.
For buyers in the voluntary market, RNG is usually marketed and purchased as Renewable Thermal Certificates (RTC), each representing the environmental attributes of one dekatherm of RNG that has been injected into the grid. This delivery via displacement system is similar to how renewable electricity is tracked and delivered through the use of Renewable Energy Certificates, or RECs.
Third-party registries like M-RETS play a key role in issuing, tracking, and delivering environmental attributes such as RTCs from renewable natural gas. RTCs are issued and tracked through the M-RETS platform that enables Anew to transfer RTCs or retire RTCs on a customer’s behalf. This established process gives buyers claim to the environmental benefits associated with their RTC purchase while ensuring end to end value chain transparency and preventing double counting. Through purchase and retirement of RTCs, purchasers can decarbonize their own energy use while helping build the market for additional RNG project development.
As one of the RNG industry’s earliest and most active participants, Anew has built a diverse portfolio of high-quality suppliers across North America, including multiple ultra-low carbon intensity producing partners. To learn more, contact our RNG team today.
Anaergia Inc. (“Anaergia” or the “Company”) (TSX: ANRG) announced today that its subsidiary SoCal Biomethane, LLC, (“SoCal Biomethane”) will supply renewable natural gas as facilitated by renewable fuels marketer Anew Climate (“Anew”) to FuelCell Energy’s (Nasdaq: FCEL) Tri-gen system to produce carbon-negative hydrogen and electricity for Toyota Motor North America, Inc.’s (TMNA) Logistics Services Center at the Port of Long Beach in California.
