Dairy Waste Insights

Dairy waste presents a unique opportunity for renewable natural gas production, albeit with a higher cost structure due to lower gas yield compared to food waste. While it may only replace 10-15% of current natural gas consumption, the potential for significant carbon reduction—up to 50%—is noteworthy when considering the carbon intensity of different feedstocks. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding both volumetric and carbon accounting perspectives in assessing the impact of renewable natural gas.
