At UGI Energy Services (UGIES), we’re committed to providing a variety of energy options for organizations of all sizes and to fuel businesses across countless industries.

2025 food waste RNG

As we approach our 30th anniversary, our product and service offerings have significantly expanded. In addition to being a trusted supplier and marketer of natural gas, liquid fuels, and electricity, we are also backed by our own midstream assets and ventures.

While clean and renewable energy has always been integral to our business model, we’ve broadened our offerings to meet growing demand. Those offerings include a sustainable and economic solution for waste disposal, which in turn helps increase America’s supply of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG). Below we delve into the details of the production of RNG from food waste.

Renewable Natural Gas: A Sustainable Solution

UGIES is a leading RNG marketer with over a decade of experience delivering RNG to customers. RNG is a pipeline-quality biomethane that’s interchangeable with traditional natural gas. RNG can be produced from a variety of organic waste materials, including food production and manufacturing plant waste.

Key Features of RNG:

  • Pipeline-quality and interchangeable with traditional natural gas
  • Created from diverse organic waste sources
  • No equipment modifications required for consumption

Food Waste to Energy

Food disposed of in landfills or wastewater treatment plants results in higher disposal costs, greenhouse gas emissions, and strong odor. UGIES offers a solution by transporting your waste to a facility and transforming it into RNG.

Our Process:

  1. Waste collection from your facility
  2. Transportation to our RNG production plant
  3. Conversion of waste into pipeline-quality RNG

With our track record of successful commissioning RNG projects, we provide a local, sustainable option for managing your food waste.
