Features

Riding a Wave of Waste to a Clean Energy Future

While natural gas is traditionally sourced from wells dug deep within the Earth, it can also be made from decomposing organic waste, which yields biomethane or renewable natural gas (RNG).

Upgrading Biogas to RNG

Favorable policies and environmental benefits are earning renewable natural gas (RNG) market acceptance. Upgrading technologies are critical to producing RNG that is ready to serve this market.

Farm-Based Anaerobic Digestion to Catalyze Decarbonization

Food and beverage waste can be combined with manure from farms in anaerobic digesters to produce renewable natural gas (RNG).

Incorporating RNG into the Gas System

Gas utility providers are working to overcome technical challenges and implement renewable natural gas (RNG) as a clean energy source. ...

Catalyzing Commercialization: Ultra-Cool Metal Roofing Material is Poised to Reduce Energy Needs

With funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), PC Krause and Associates (PCKA) developed a passive radiative metamaterial that can serve as an economical, ultra-cool metal roofing product.

Process Safety Progress Highlight: AI as an Ally in Hazard Analyses

In the Process Safety Progress article, “Artificial Intelligence as Ally in Hazard Analysis,” authors Thomas Garvin and Scott Kimbleton (IBM) discuss how AI can improve decision-making and risk-management in process safety.

Process Safety Beacon: The Nose Does Not Always Know

On June 9, 2009, a natural gas explosion occurred at a meat processing plant in Garner, NC, causing a release of 18,000 lb (8,165 kg) of ammonia and a section of the building to collapse.
