How BioCNG Reduces Carbon Emissions

BioCNG projects deliver significant carbon emission reductions through multiple pathways, each contributing to measurable environmental impact. Biomass pellet projects also qualify for carbon credit generation.

Methane Capture

25-30 tCO2e per ton BioCNG

Capturing methane that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, preventing a potent greenhouse gas from contributing to climate change.

Mechanism: Direct emission reduction through waste-to-energy conversion

Fossil Fuel Displacement

23-25 tCO2e per ton BioCNG

Replacing conventional natural gas and diesel with clean BioCNG, eliminating emissions from fossil fuel combustion.

Mechanism: Avoided emissions from fossil fuel combustion

Waste Management

15-20 tCO2e per ton feedstock

Preventing organic waste decomposition in landfills, which would otherwise release methane and other harmful gases.

Mechanism: Methane emission reduction from improved waste management

Soil Carbon Sequestration

0.3-1.0 tCO2e per ton slurry

Using bio-slurry as organic fertilizer enhances soil carbon content, creating a natural carbon sink.

Mechanism: Carbon sequestration in agro-industrial soils

Revenue Potential by Project Size

Carbon credit revenue varies by project size and provides significant additional income streams.
