With a focus on renewable natural gas ( RNG ) and bioenergy projects , Green Impact Partners is on a mission to accelerate a sustainable future by turning waste into renewable energy . Officially established in 2021 , the company ’ s mission is to acquire , develop , construct , and operate facilities that not only produce energy , but also play a significant role in waste reduction and lowering emissions . RNG is an innovative clean energy source increasingly added to existing gas distribution systems and used in everyday applications to reduce conventional gas consumption . While just 0.1 percent of the current US natural gas supply is RNG , this figure is set to rise to ten percent by 2040 , and with billions in shovel-ready projects across North America , Green Impact Partners is poised to capitalize on this increase .
Made using organic waste like compost or manure , RNG is produced by capturing and purifying biogas released from the waste . Although the company is not limited to specific biogas sources , biogas is most often captured from agricultural waste , food waste , wastewater treatment plants , landfill , and residential or commercial organic waste .
Green Impact Partners currently has three key projects either under development or in operation : the Future Energy Park in Alberta , Canada , GreenGas Colorado in Weld County , Colorado , and Iowa RNG , which is still in the early planning stages . The Future Energy Park , a net CO₂ negative renewable biofuels facility , is set to be one of North America ’ s largest waste-to-energy RNG projects once construction begins in 2025 . GreenGas Colorado , on the other hand , is a dairy-topipeline quality RNG project converting manure into RNG through an anerobic digestion and gasification process .
