UGI Energy Services LLC, a subsidiary of UGI Corp., today announced a partnership with the City of Philadelphia to supply renewable natural gas (RNG) for the city’s compressed natural gas (CNG) powered trash compactors. Under the agreement, the city will purchase clean biogas sourced from Pennsylvania and regional landfills, helping to reduce landfill flaring and grow local markets for renewable natural gas.This partnership marks the first time the city is utilizing RNG environmental attributes for its CNG fleet. The renewable fuel will power the 35 CNG-fueled trash compactors that currently serve neighborhoods throughout Philadelphia. The project creates new demand for methane produced by waste decomposition in landfills, reducing the amount of gas flared at participating facilities and allowing for renewable natural gas to be injected into the gas distribution system.“We are pleased to partner with the city in this important program,” said Joe Hartz, president, UGI Energy Services. “We source biogas from a portfolio of landfill projects to ensure security of supply for our customers and prioritize production from Pennsylvania landfills for delivery to customers located throughout the Commonwealth.”“The city’s partnership with UGI Energy Services is an important step towards advancing our vision of a cleaner municipal fleet,” said Liz Lankenau, director of the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Sustainability. “Through our partnership, UGI Energy Services will prioritize capturing and reusing gas from local landfills to power our trash compactors, which supports the local market for fossil fuel alternatives like renewable natural gas.”“By transitioning our city fleet to renewable natural gas, we’re investing in smarter energy and a more sustainable future,” said Joseph Rosati, commissioner of the City of Philadelphia’s Department of Fleet Services. “This initiative demonstrates our ongoing commitment to a cleaner municipal fleet and responsible city leadership.”&nbsp;
