Absolutely, it can be, just not in all circumstances. Most clearly, I think we can observe this at landfills, where many landfill operations were profitable before the addition of GCCS systems.
I think the next area we’ll be able to observe profitable facilities before/without subsidies will be in the ICI sector. One such example of this is the new AstraZeneca facility developed by Future Biogas in the UK

In a future where RNG is the byproduct of a ‘waste treatment operation’ (i.e. treating the manure, the organics, the food waste, the agri byproducts), and environmental regulations have become strict enough to demand a reduction on CO2 emissions from operations and management of organic waste, RNG pricing and incentives would stop being the focus of the conversation. At that point in time, government (financial) support of RNG would not be the driving factor.

While I understand this the reason for this question, the hypothetical world for which RNG has to be economically viable without any regulations does not exist… In Unless we can come up with a wide blanket solution that fits all to remove all emissions from usage of Fossil fuels , RNG can and should be supported to reduce the emissions, and if we do have such technology, I am sure RNG is already economically viable due to built in infrastructure…
