Large volumes of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) have always been a pipe dream. Despite the NW Natural Gas target of 4% RNG in Oregon, it barely procures 1%. Now, it's co-owned plant in Nebraska is closing and the company wants Oregon ratepayers to foot the bill, when we've never used any. RNG from cow/chicken manure leaks just like any other methane causing 86 times more global heating in the first 20 years than carbon dioxide. Time to switch to heat pump and better yet, have NW Natural invest in ground-sourced heat pumps or thermal Power Plants, keeping pipefitters employed.

NW Natural customers may be on the hook for millions of dollars after a beef processing plant that produced some of the company’s renewable natural gas is set to close this month.
