Market Watch reports the global RNG market size was worth $8.09 billion in 2022, but will sky rocket to $72.13 billion in 2028.  The significant portion of this growth will be in the United States, where RNG will represent 10% of natural gas consumption.

So mark your calendar now to prepare your business for this growth to attend Shale Directories and the H2-CCS Network’s first Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Conference, slated for Wednesday, October 4, 2023 in Charlotte, NC. (Hotel info coming soon!)

Our OPENING RECEPTION will be held the evening of October 3 from 6:30 – 8:30 PM. A CLOSING RECEPTION will conclude the conference at 4:00 PM on October 4.

“Our conference, the second in a series of RNG conferences, focuses on creating regional awareness of local opportunities to profitably address climate change. It’s exciting to be part of these projects which are adding jobs and revenue to local communities,” said Tom Gellrich, CEO and Founder of the H2-CCS Network.

RNG also provides benefits in terms of fuel security, improved local air quality and brings communities into the climate change fight all with local economic benefits – jobs.  A typical RNG project, according to industry sources, can cost between $10 and $100 million, generating both construction and operating jobs in local communities.

Can Your Company Benefit from the RNG Boom? (LINK)

According to the Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas (CRNG), there are more than 500 RNG facilities in North America operating, under construction or planned, located in 46 states and three Canadian provinces. This is your chance to learn from a robust line-up of industry leaders and network with a group of like-minded energy professionals. Register NOW as we anticipate a sellout. Sponsorships are also available.
