2025 saw continued momentum in the renewable natural gas (RNG) sector. At an industry level, progress continued as biomass-feedstock availability increased, policies advanced, facility counts grew, and applications continued to evolve. These trends demonstrate RNG's growing impact in the low-carbon energy transition and signal continued sector advancement.

Building on the Kinder Morgan RNG Mid-Year Review, here's a look at the progress made in the latter half of 2025:
 
RNG continues to gain traction as a reliable, low-carbon solution across industrial, transportation, and energy applications. Looking ahead, its potential extends into additional sectors such as maritime, data centers, and aviation, offering a pathway for further decarbonization. Kinder Morgan RNG remains committed to driving innovation, expanding adoption, and supporting a cleaner, more sustainable future.
