Our Take:

OPAL Fuels' strategic expansion into California with this new RNG facility at Kirby Canyon marks a significant step forward in providing sustainable fuel options for the transportation sector. By converting landfill gas into RNG for heavy-duty trucks, OPAL Fuels continues to address both environmental and economic challenges within the logistics industry. This project not only leverages California's renewable energy incentives but also aligns with the state’s aggressive emission reduction goals.
