Transforming the future of clean energy
Harnessing clean energy from farms, food waste and landfills for the good of the climate, consumers and family farmers.
Renewable energy comes from many sources - solar, wind and hydroelectric dams. But did you know it also comes from farms and food waste? That’s right! We’re turning farm and food waste into clean energy for consumers. It’s called renewable natural gas (RNG), and it’s making the world a better place by reducing emissions, producing clean energy and providing new income for family farmers. It’s also helping Dominion Energy achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
❶
Capture
As manure, food waste and other organic material decomposes, it produces methane gas. Instead of allowing methane to enter the atmosphere, it's captured and turned into energy.
❷
Convert
The methane captured from farms, food waste and other sources is cleaned up to 99% pure methane, the same as traditional natural gas.
❸
Deliver
Renewable natural gas is then blended into the existing gas distribution system to serve homes, businesses, power plants and other natural gas consumers.
Fewer Emissions for the Climate
Renewable natural gas reduces greenhouse gas emissions from farms, food waste and landfills, which protects the climate and makes our air cleaner.
Clean Energy for Consumers
Renewable natural gas combines the environmental benefits of renewables with the reliability of natural gas to meet the 24/7 needs of our customers.
Income for Family Farmers
Renewable natural gas generates additional income for family farmers, turning one of their biggest costs into a new source of revenue.
Safety is more than our first core value. Just like all our endeavors, safety is vital for renewable natural gas, and held to the same stringent utility standards as any energy source we deploy. The trust of everyone we touch is our greatest asset. Fortunately, we feel confident that we can earn and continuously renew that trust as our RNG reach continues to scale with new partners, suppliers, and customers.
Our proven track record of cultivating an employee-led culture of safety includes numerous years of multiple awards by organizations like the American Gas Association, but our most coveted reward is to have everyone return home each day. We believe collaboration with everyone makes a safer project site, empowering all to be safe with tools like our custom contractor safety site.
Whether a humble cottage or a massive industrial business, natural gas customers can rest assured that renewable natural gas not only delivers the same performance, RNG is as safe as the gas they use today.
"It is interchangeable with natural gas. It is carbon neutral, extremely versatile and fully compatible with the U.S. pipeline infrastructure. It can be used in homes and businesses, in manufacturing and heavy industries, for electricity production and as an alternative fuel for transportation." -The American Gas Association
