What is Renewable
Natural Gas?
RNG is chemically identical to the natural gas Americans use to cook with, heat homes, and fuel natural gas engines, with one huge difference: It’s not a fossil fuel, and it’s not pumped from the ground.

PERFORMANCE AS A DEISEL
Dramatic emission reductions
Renewable Natural Gas at a Glance
Methane emissions are captured on-site at landfills and livestock farms before they're released into the atmosphere or are required to be burned off
Emissions are cleaned, and repurposed at (on-site) processing facilities
TruStar distributes RNG fuel for Class 8 fleets nationwide
Over 60,000 Class 8 trucks run on natural gas and travel over 4 billion miles a year
What are the Benefits?
Capturing and converting harmful waste emissions into usable fuel is ‘win-win’; for the environment, your sustainability goals, and your bottom line.
Reduced Fuel Costs
State and federal regulations provide significant carbon incentives to adopt RNG in Class 8 transportation, bringing RNG costs to as low as $1.20 / gallon (in states like California).
TruStar manages all government incentives, costs, environmental credits, and incentives which are passed on to customers through lower fuel costs – an illustrative cost comparison below including those incentives.
