The Digest’s 2026 Multi-Slide Guide to RNG Carbon Intensity & Policy Frameworks

November 11, 2026 |

The Story: Dr. Rui Chen of ICF examines how engineering, carbon intensity accounting, and policy shape renewable natural gas investment decisions. Comparing dairy manure against beef cattle manure, the presentation shows how capturing more RNG can counterintuitively dilute avoided emissions, resulting in a less-negative carbon intensity score. Because carbon intensity value depends heavily on regulatory frameworks (such as California’s LCFS versus Canada’s CFR) and book-and-claim rules, ICF highlights the need for comprehensive optimization balancing technology, policy, and market access.
