I believe we can call the current situation as adjustment period and I personally do not think we will see the numbers we had in 2023-2024 in terms of overall growth.
In 2025, the projects that went online all started in 2023-2024, but we are not tracking a lot of announcements of new projects in development in 2026.

New RNG facilities hit lowest level in years; Dem-Con breaks ground on Minnesota digester
A report finds that the biogas industry faced a slow year in 2025 amid regulatory uncertainty and the need for new market outlets. Companies like Maas Energy Works and Taurus RNG reported facility progress.
Hi Malek,
Whether we like it or not, our industry is very dependent of support programs and offtake market, so, I believe, until that is in place, it is very difficult to say what else can be done. What are you thinking?
Scaling is not something the projects think from the start. It is typically a problem that happens during operations and the project will start looking at the solutions then.
The technology that comes to mind is TGWT and you can contact @LouisG for any questions.
Plus, here is their article in Biogas Community Magazine last year: https://catalog.biogascommunity.com/digital-biogas-community-magazine-usa-2025/full-view.html?p=48
In our webinar yesterday, one of the speakers mentioned that there is a new study coming in Europe on biogas emissions plants but the problem with it that the approach is outdated. I have an impression that the lack of proved methodology can be hurtful for biogas industry.
Trisha, thank you for sharing!
Very true, Laura. Subsidized projects, anecdotically, are more expensive to run.
David, thank you for these details and the last question: overall for RNG projects, do projects have to reduce oxygen content or typically it comes within norms? Basically, apart from monitoring oxygen, should projects have the technology to reduce it?
Vanita, thank you for your insights!
Thank you for your reply @nikannf37 . I hear that long-term offtake agreements in the North America is becoming more and more rare… is it your impression as well?
HPD is high performance digester that is sold by Fournier Industries in the North America. You can check their quick presentation by @Scott.McKay at https://youtu.be/JNV2PzJ_iGk
Excellent, thank you for confirming your services Brad!
David, thank you so much for sharing this information. Do you know if natural gas utilities have standards for oxygen content for natural gas and for RNG?
Hi Tejas, we had just finished the webinar on European biogas sector and one of the panellists mentioned that one of the reasons of project failures in India is the need and desire of lower project investment at the start (as compared to European projects). What do you think about that?
Brad, thank you very much for your reply. It is certain that your experience in US market brings a lot to the table. Are you offering consulting services for projects as part of your current mandate?
Louis, this is a really cool project. Thank you for sharing the information.
I believe CTMB is treating industrial wastewater and food waste, correct?
