What is Renewable Natural Gas?
Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) is produced by capturing and processing the methane emitted from organic sources, including animal waste, wastewater treatment plants, food waste, and landfills that would otherwise have been released into the environment as the organic material decays. Many forms of RNG have a carbon-neutral and even a carbon-negative rating. By capturing methane and converting it into a useful source of energy, RNG use helps to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Biogas that would ordinarily be released into the environment can instead be captured, processed, and consumed again as a lower-carbon natural gas alternative. RNG production is expected to grow significantly over the next several years. However, many of the projects cannot easily or cost-effectively be connected directly to a sales gas pipeline. Our expertise in RNG compression, transportation, decompression, and injection of high-pressure gases enables RNG developers to capture value by delivering their product to market.
Unlock RNG Market Access
Many renewable natural gas projects are located far from existing pipeline networks, making traditional interconnection costly and time-consuming.
Certarus helps RNG developers capture value faster through:
- Mobile RNG compression at the source
- High-pressure RNG transportation
- Direct pipeline injection services
- Virtual pipeline delivery to end-users
- Flexible market access without permanent infrastructure
Our RNG compression and transportation expertise enables developers to move product to market efficiently while reducing capital constraints and accelerating project timelines.

Delivery Options for Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)
Certarus provides efficient and versatile RNG delivery solutions designed to meet the unique requirements of each project for organizations across North America. Our expertise ensures a seamless connection from production facilities directly to end-users.RNG Pipeline Injection
Through RNG injection, Certarus efficiently moves renewable natural gas from production sites by injecting renewable natural gas into an existing pipeline network. This process eliminates the need for significant upfront pipeline investments, allowing RNG suppliers to quickly and reliably bring product to the market.
Mobile Storage
Our mobile storage units offer maximum flexibility by safely and reliably transporting renewable natural gas for local, on-site delivery. Certarus mobile storage provides RNG developers and end-users a versatile, scalable, and flexible on-demand energy source designed specifically for remote or temporary operations.
RNG Virtual Pipeline
Certarus’ RNG virtual pipeline connects producers to end-users by delivering renewable natural gas by truck without extensive traditional pipeline infrastructure. Our solution supports projects of any scale and location by compressing RNG directly at the source and efficiently transporting it to market. This streamlines operations, reduces infrastructure costs, and accelerates the adoption of sustainable energy solutions.
RNG Delivery & Storage Equipment
Certarus supports organizations across North America by providing industry-leading RNG compression, delivery, and storage infrastructure to ensure reliable RNG market access. Our versatile fleet of equipment is purpose-built to facilitate RNG virtual pipeline solutions.
Mobile Storage Units (MSU)
Certarus operates one of North America's largest Mobile Storage Unit (MSU) fleets, with single-trailer capacities ranging from 50 to 450 MCF. This allows us to reliably deliver RNG where traditional pipelines are unavailable or impractical, ensuring continuous market access and flexible energy distribution.
Pressure Reduction Systems (PRS)
Certarus' Pressure Reduction Systems (PRS) safely and consistently reduces RNG delivery pressure from our Mobile Storage Units to match customer on-site pressure requirements. Engineered to handle customer-specified outlet pressures, our PRS units ensure consistent energy supply, system integrity, and operational safety. By providing precise pressure and temperature control, Certarus’ pressure reduction systems further enhance reliability, safety, and performance across RNG virtual pipeline operations.
RNG Compressors
Our diverse fleet of compression equipment supports RNG projects across Canada and the United States, featuring compressor units ranging from 60hp to 1,000hp. Easily deployable for shifting demand, temporary operations, or permanent project needs, our high-pressure reciprocating compressors reliably compress renewable natural gas to pressures of up to 4,500 psi.

RNG Frequently Asked Questions
What is the process of RNG?
Renewable natural gas, also known as RNG, is produced by capturing and processing methane emitted from organic sources including pig and dairy farms, water treatment plants, and landfills.
What are the benefits of RNG?
RNG has incredible potential as a sustainable fuel of the future. Not only does biogas upgrading help to reduce harmful methane emissions from being released into the environment, but RNG production creates low or carbon negative energy that is so similar to traditional natural gas that it can be used as a drop in substitute in pipeline distribution networks and natural gas enabled equipment.
Is RNG better than natural gas?
Yes! Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) offers clear environmental advantages over conventional natural gas. Produced by capturing methane from landfills, farms, and organic waste sources, RNG reduces greenhouse gas emissions, often achieving carbon-neutral or carbon-negative results, and serves as a direct substitute for conventional natural gas. This makes RNG a superior energy choice for organizations pursuing sustainability and lower emissions.
How does Certarus support the RNG sector?
Many potential RNG projects are in isolated areas with no access to a pipeline distribution network. Certarus provides safe and reliable mobile access to pipeline, helping to connect projects to pipelines and customers. We are enabling the growth of the RNG industry by investing in our own pipeline injection facilities to make market access even easier for RNG projects of all sizes.
