Fueling the Future: Why RNG Is the Smart Move for Fleets

Posted on Monday, October 27, 2025
The transportation industry is under pressure to evolve. Rising fuel costs, tightening emissions regulations, and growing sustainability commitments are pushing fleets to rethink their fueling strategies. For many, renewable natural gas (RNG) is emerging as a practical, cost-effective solution. 

RNG is produced from organic waste, is compatible with existing infrastructure, can reduce GHG emissions and, in some instances, can actually be carbon-negative. But beyond the environmental benefits, RNG can offer financial advantages for fleet operators.

Kinder Morgan RNG's latest playbook, Fueling Trucking's Future, breaks down how RNG can help fleets:
  • Cut fuel costs for larger fleets by up to $1.50 per diesel gallon equivalent1
  • Qualify for federal and state tax credits - including potentially up to $1.00 per gallon under the proposed RNG Incentive Act2
  • Generate revenue through private fueling stations and RIN credits3
  • Meet Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions targets and stay ahead of emissions regulations4
  • Plan a seamless transition with a checklist covering vehicle range, fueling infrastructure, maintenance, and ROI
Whether you're a private carrier or a for-hire fleet, RNG offers a path to lower operating costs and stronger compliance positioning, without sacrificing performance.
