Renewable Natural Gas (Watch)

SB 896 (Brodeur) and HB 539 (Byrd) create definitions for “biogas” and “renewable gas” within existing law provisions for renewable energy. Biogas means a mixture of gases produced by the biological decomposition of organic materials. Renewable natural gas means anaerobically generated biogas, landfill gas, or wastewater treatment gas that may be used as a transportation fuel, or for electric generation or is capable of being injected into a natural gas pipeline.
