Biogas Upgrading Technologies for Purification to RNG

The interest in purifying biogas production into Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) in the U.S. stems in large part from its negative carbon footprint.  Unlike other sources of energy production, biogas removes methane emissions from decaying organic matter on farms and landfills that would have otherwise been vented to the atmosphere, while generating hydrocarbon gas for…
