Meet Our Client: An Energy Holding Company
Our client is an energy infrastructure holding that delivers safe natural gas services to residential, commercial, and industrial customers. As part of their renewable energy initiative, they were launching a green program using livestock Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)—purified biomethane fuel that is fully interchangeable with conventional natural gas and usable in natural gas vehicles. Simply put, our client planned to produce fuel using cow methane emissions in support of their goal to offset millions of gallons of gasoline.
