New Opportunities to Convert
Biomass "Waste" to Renewable
Methane and Green Hydrogen
Thursday, March 18 | 10 a.m. PT
Although most renewable gases are currently produced through anaerobic digestion, several innovative developers are working to deploy gasification and pyrolysis pathways to commercially viable energy production. These technologies allow for the conversion of dense, low-moisture organic material into valuable renewable gas and biochar, creating new opportunities to manage forests, agricultural waste and other hard-to-handle organic feedstocks.
Watch the recording of this 75-minute Renewable Gas 360 webinar to hear industry leaders discuss:
- How gasification and pyrolysis technologies work and why they are important tools to advance climate protection, air quality improvement and clean energy goals
- How these technologies can be used to promote sustainable management of woodlands, farming and municipal solid waste
- The status of groundbreaking projects, and how state and local policies can help accelerate the deployment of these important renewable energy technologies

Future Renewable Gas 360 Webinar Topics May Include:
A Primer on Gasification
To provide participants an understanding of gasification technology, how it works, what is produced from gasification and its environmental benefits. To dispel myths and misunderstanding regarding gasification and explore how it can help western states mitigate wildfires, improve energy security and stability, help decarbonize energy supplies, and bring economic development to disproportionately impacted and disadvantaged communities, particularly in rural areas.
Power-to-Gas (P2G) - Status of U.S. Projects
Converting curtailed renewable electricity into hydrogen is a promising strategy to indefinitely store vast amounts of renewable energy. This webinar will explore the potential of P2G to help states achieve ambitious decarbonization goals, as well as showcase the leading P2G projects currently being developed around the nation.
How Renewable Gases Can Help Municipalities Reduce Their Carbon Footprint
CalRecycle is about to finalize its SB 1383 regulations that not only require municipalities to recycle their organic waste, but to also purchase the output. Renewable gases can be a key element of cities’ compliance strategy. Hear from municipal leaders who are spearheading the effort to harness their organic feedstocks in ways that will help them both comply with the regulation and receive added benefits
Strategies to Mitigate Wildfires Using Forest Biomass as a Feedstock for Renewable Gas
One of the most pressing problems faced by western states in recent years has been ever increasing mega-fires. Not only are wildfires gaining in intensity, devastating ever greater acreage and taking more lives, but these fires pour so much carbon and soot into the atmosphere that they completely invalidate climate protection efforts. This webinar will explore how greater reliance on strategies that convert dead and dying forest biomass into renewable gases can serve as a major wildfire mitigation strategy for states.
