Natural Gas Vehicles for America (NGVAmerica) and Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas (RNG Coalition) today announced that 69 percent of all on-road fuel used in natural gas vehicles in calendar year 2022 was renewable natural gas (RNG), surpassing the previous year&rsquo;s record-breaking level.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Captured above ground from organic material in&nbsp;agricultural, wastewater, landfill, or food waste, RNG can produce carbon-negative results when fueling on-road vehicles like short- and long-haul trucks, transit buses, and refuse and recycling collection vehicles.&nbsp;California Air Resources Board data confirms that the annual average carbon intensity (CI) value of California&rsquo;s bio-CNG vehicle fuel portfolio in its Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program is carbon negative and below zero at -92.26 gCO2e/MJ.
RNG use as a transportation fuel grew 17 percent over 2021 volumes, up 218 percent from 2018 levels.&nbsp;&nbsp;NGVAmerica and RNG Coalition report that in 2022 a total of 663 million gallons (GGE)&nbsp;of natural gas were used as motor fuel.&nbsp;Of that, 457 million gallons (GGE) were from renewable sources.
&ldquo;RNG-fueled heavy-duty vehicles are a scalable, affordable, and carbon-free-today solution for freight and transit fleets of all sizes,&rdquo; said Dan Gage, president of NGVAmerica.&nbsp;&ldquo;And with the upcoming availability of a 15-liter engine option, commercial fleet applications with the biggest torque and horsepower needs will also be able to transition to ultra-clean renewable natural gas motor fuel and displace diesel, saving on fueling costs and slashing their greenhouse gas emissions.&rdquo;
&ldquo;Renewable Natural Gas supply is growing,&rdquo; said Johannes Escudero, founder and CEO of Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas. &ldquo;With 281 RNG facilities transforming waste into fuel, and another 476 planned or under construction, we are increasingly able to affordably offer consumers the opportunity to decarbonize with RNG - the cleanest of any fuel available today.&rdquo;&nbsp;
RNG use as a motor fuel in 2022 displaced 5.63 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e).&nbsp;Put into perspective, RNG motor fuel use last year:
&nbsp;
<ul>
&bull;Lowered greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to removing the GHG from almost&nbsp;14 billion&nbsp;miles driven by the average passenger car;
&bull;Eliminated CO2&nbsp;emissions, equivalent to removing CO2&nbsp;emissions from almost&nbsp;633 million&nbsp;gallons of gasoline consumed; and&nbsp;
&bull;Sequestered carbon, equal to growing over&nbsp;93 million&nbsp;tree seedlings for 10 years, or&nbsp;6.66 million&nbsp;acres of U.S. forests for one year.
</ul>
