RNG Hero
Renewable natural gas (RNG)
RNG is generated from purifying methane from existing waste streams like landfills, farms, wastewater and food waste. We're currently exploring the option of bringing RNG into our system.
Hydrogen
We're currently studying hydrogen and its potential ability to be used as an alternative energy source for our gas distribution system.
