5.3 Applications, Production, and Use of Renewable Transportation Fuels

This panel will focus on the emissions reductions and benefits of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), biodiesel, renewable propane, and hydrogen for fleet vehicles. RNG is being introduced into natural gas pipeline systems from sources such as landfills, wastewater treatment facilities, and agricultural waste digesters. Biodiesel, renewable propane and hydrogen generated from renewable resources is also available. Fleets can now purchase renewable fuels for their vehicles thereby further reducing their carbon footprint and generating credits under various federal and state programs that encourage the development of renewable transportation fuels. This panel will also include an assessment of the potential opportunities to develop renewable fuels here in Georgia from the agricultural sector.
