OPAL Fuels and GFL Environmental Advance Growth Strategy with New RNG Projects in Alabama and Georgia

Key Terms

renewable natural gas technical

Renewable natural gas is methane captured from organic waste—like landfills, farms, or wastewater—and cleaned to the same quality as conventional pipeline gas so it can be used for heating, electricity, or vehicle fuel. Investors care because it turns waste into a revenue-generating commodity, can qualify for carbon credits or government incentives, and can reduce a company's emissions profile, affecting long-term costs, regulatory risk, and market demand much like converting trash into sellable fuel.

rng technical

Renewable natural gas (RNG) is methane captured from organic waste sources—like landfills, farms, or wastewater—and cleaned to match the quality of conventional natural gas. For investors, RNG matters because it turns waste into a marketable, low-carbon fuel that can create new revenue streams, qualify for environmental credits, and reduce a company’s carbon footprint much like turning trash into a sellable product.

cng technical

Compressed natural gas (CNG) is natural gas that has been pressurized to occupy less space so it can be used as a vehicle fuel or stored for later use, similar to how a bicycle pump compresses air into a small container. Investors watch CNG because it affects demand for energy, fuel infrastructure and vehicle fleets, and can shift costs and emissions profiles for companies in transport, logistics and utilities, influencing profitability and regulatory risk.

mmbtu technical

A MMBtu is a unit of energy equal to one million British thermal units, commonly used to measure natural gas and other fuel quantities for trading and contracts. For investors, it translates raw energy into a standardized price metric—think of it like gallons for gasoline—so changes in the MMBtu price affect producer revenues, utility costs, commodity derivatives, and the profitability of energy-related investments.

class 8 technical

Class 8 denotes the largest category of road trucks — the heavy-duty rigs, tractor‑trailers and big haul vehicles used for long-distance freight and heavy commercial hauling. Investors watch Class 8 activity because sales, orders and uptime for these trucks signal demand for goods, fuel and parts, affect capital spending and fleet replacement cycles, and influence revenue and profitability for manufacturers, logistics providers and service suppliers.

scope 1 technical

Scope 1 are the greenhouse gas emissions a company produces directly from sources it owns or controls, like fuel burned in company vehicles, boilers, or on-site factories. Think of it as the smoke coming out of a business’s own chimney versus electricity it buys from the grid. Investors watch Scope 1 because these direct emissions can create regulatory costs, operational changes, and reputational risks that affect profitability and long-term value.

scope 2 technical

Scope 2 covers the greenhouse gas emissions produced indirectly when a business uses energy it buys from others—most commonly electricity, but also steam, heating or cooling. Think of it like the pollution linked to your household’s electricity bill: you didn’t burn the fuel yourself, but your consumption still causes emissions. Investors watch Scope 2 because it affects a company’s climate footprint, energy costs, regulatory exposure and reputation, all of which can influence long‑term financial performance.

methane medical

Methane is a colorless, odorless gas that is the main component of natural gas and is produced both naturally (from swamps, wetlands) and by human activity (fossil fuel production, agriculture). Investors care because methane is a potent greenhouse gas that can trigger tighter regulations, cleanup costs, or liability, and it also links directly to energy supply and prices—think of it as a hidden leak that can affect both a company’s costs and its regulatory risk.

New Projects Expected to Add Approximately 15 Million GGEs of RNG Supply Capacity

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. & MIAMI BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- OPAL Fuels (Nasdaq: OPAL), a leading vertically integrated producer and distributor of renewable natural gas and compressed natural gas (RNG/CNG) and GFL Environmental Inc. (NYSE: GFL) (TSX: GFL) (“GFL”) announced today the advancement of construction for two new RNG facilities at the Stones Throw Landfill in Tallapoosa County, Alabama and the Grady Road Landfill in Polk County, Georgia. The projects together represent nearly 2 million MMBTU of plant design capacity and are owned jointly, 50 percent each, by GFL and OPAL Fuels.

OPAL Fuels has agreed to market and distribute the full output from the new RNG facilities through its expanding CNG/RNG dispensing network further advancing OPAL Fuels’ strategy to drive profitable growth across both upstream production and downstream distribution.

The new RNG facilities are designed to supply fuel for approximately 800 Class 8 heavy-duty tractors, with such fuel providing better economics than diesel and the added benefits of zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The projects are well positioned to supply accelerating fleet conversion activity in the heavy-duty trucking sector which is being driven by higher and volatile diesel pricing, increased regulatory clarity regarding combustion engines, and the availability of next-generation natural gas engine platforms.

“The construction of these two facilities underscore OPAL Fuels’ momentum in advancing our growth objectives with value accretive projects,” said Jonathan Maurer, Co-Chief Executive Officer of OPAL Fuels. “Bringing new RNG production online amid accelerating fleet demand reinforces the strength of our vertically integrated model, connecting landfill partners to high-value end markets through our growing fuel station network. This work supports our focus on sustainable revenue growth, margin expansion, and creating long-term shareholder value.”

“We are excited to continue building on our investments in RNG facilities at our landfills,” said Patrick Dovigi, GFL’s Founder and CEO. “These projects support the achievement of GFL’s GHG reduction goals including fueling our own CNG fleet from landfill gas produced at our landfills, in addition to generating strong, stable, risk-adjusted returns for many years into the future.”

Using proven technology, the projects will capture methane generated from the natural decomposition of organic material at the Grady Road Landfill and the Stones Throw Landfill and convert it into RNG, a low-carbon, cost-effective transportation fuel.
