Abstract

This video presentation is about the first ever interactive map for visualizing Minnesota's renewable natural gas (RNG) potential! RNG is biogas (methane, carbon dioxide and other trace gasses) that has been cleansed to match the methane purity of natural gas. This renewable and sustainable alternative can be used as a replacement for natural gas in Minnesota's current infrastructure. This map displays all active feedlots from 2018 and over 50 wastewater treatment plants. Each of these locations have had calculations completed to determine their theoretical RNG production. More information on these calculations can be found at the bottom of the website's details, when observing a specific location.
