    Despite some changes in the administration’s priorities, the market in the US continues to heat up 🔥

    There are over 375 RNG facilities (counting cluster projects only once) with another 350 in various stages of development. The current growth rate is likely to remain consistent over the next few years, as projects that began development in the past few years continue to enter operation.

    The industry has passed its tipping point, and while federal supports definitely fast-track industry growth, private, and public, entities recognize the potential of AD for waste management. States and municipalities are filling in the space left behind from federal incentives.

    Given the changes to incentives and what appears to be renewed interest in biogas CHP, the pendulum seems to be moving back towards electricity projects.
    I’m interested in seeing whether developers pursue CHP projects over the next few years.
