The Greenlane Digest

IN THE NEWS

Greenlane (TSX:GRN) is a pioneer in the rapidly emerging renewable natural gas (RNG) industry. We work with waste producers, gas utilities, and project developers to turn low-value biogas into a valuable low-carbon and carbon-negative clean energy resource. As a leading global provider of biogas upgrading systems, we are helping to clean up two of the largest and most difficult-to-decarbonize sectors of the global energy system: the natural gas grid and the commercial transportation sector.

Greenlane issued the following news release this week:

Greenlane announces expansion of senior management team

Germany is betting on more biogas production to save natural gas with a view to possible shortages during the winter. The government will remove regulatory hurdles to an increase of domestic biogas production, energy state secretary Patrick Graichen said. Utility association BDEW welcomed the announcement to remove existing barriers to the "as yet untapped potential." The lobby group estimates that 100 terawatt hours of biomethane per year could be produced in Germany and fed into the gas grid by 2030 - about a fifth of the Russian gas consumed by Germany last year.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 is a game-changer for anaerobic digester and other renewable energy projects, on multiple levels. The $749 billion IRA includes $369 billion for climate-related emissions reduction activities. The IRA aims to expand access to tax credits (plus billions of dollars in complementary funding) for biofuel and other renewable energy projects, and it’s widely expected to drive a surge in new capital across the renewable energy space. Capping a two-decade struggle to secure credits for “green gas” not linked to electricity generation, the IRA creates a stand-alone 30% investment tax credit (ITC) for any “qualified biogas property system” that converts biomass to gas containing at least 52% methane for sale or productive use.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s AgSTAR program has been tracking development of manure-based anaerobic digestion (AD) facilities for many years. Its latest data, which is current through May 2022, reports there are 331 manure-based AD systems, up from 272 in 2021. Nine new systems have come online since the beginning of 2022, and another 85 are currently under construction or undergoing modification. Of the 331 operating livestock manure digester systems, 113 are producing RNG (includes pipeline injection and compressed natural gas projects) in the United States.
