SAN FRANCISCO – Neither synthetic gas nor biogas derived from food scraps, animal waste, or woody biomass are viable replacements for America’s consumption of polluting natural gas, according to a report published today by NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council). These resources may play a small role in reducing climate pollution, but the best alternatives to natural gas (more accurately described as “fossil gas”) are emissions-free energy efficiency and electricity from renewable sources like the sun and wind.
