Renewable Fuels

Powering a Cleaner Future with Renewable Energy

We are at the forefront of engineering and consulting services for renewable fuels, supporting the development of facilities that transform waste streams into sustainable energy solutions. Our expertise in renewable natural gas (RNG) and other green fuel technologies helps clients harness the power of innovation to meet energy demands while reducing environmental impact.

Comprehensive Support for Renewable Fuel Facilities

Renewable fuel facilities repurpose biogas derived from waste streams such as animal waste, food waste, wastewater sludge, and landfills into clean energy. These facilities contribute to a circular economy by capturing methane emissions and converting them into fuel for transportation, heating, and power generation.

Services

With decades of engineering experience, NTH offers a full suite of services to support the planning, development, and operation of renewable fuel facilities, including:

Facility Siting and Design
We provide site selection and design services tailored to meet the unique requirements of RNG and other renewable fuel production facilities. Our expertise ensures that each site is optimized for efficiency, safety, and compliance with regulatory standards.

Environmental Permitting and Compliance
Our environmental team navigates the complex regulations governing air emissions, ecological impacts, and process equipment for renewable fuel facilities. From air permitting to dispersion modeling, we help clients address environmental challenges and meet health-based standards.

Geotechnical Engineering
Geotechnical expertise is critical to the successful development of renewable fuel facilities. We perform subsurface investigations, soil testing, and foundation design to ensure facilities are constructed on stable, cost-effective ground.

Process Safety and Risk Management
NTH assists with process safety management (PSM) and risk management plans (RMP), providing regulatory compliance support for highly hazardous chemicals. Our services include hazard analyses, manual preparation, and ongoing audits to maintain safe operations.

Landfill Gas-to-RNG Conversion
With decades of experience in landfill engineering, NTH supports projects converting landfill gas into renewable natural gas. Our services include gas production modeling, collection system design, and regulatory compliance to enable efficient and sustainable energy production.
