GE Vernova collaborates with GreenGas to pilot the use of RNG at the Greenville SC test stand facilities. 

This year, GE Vernova will pilot the use of renewable natural gas (RNG) offsets at the Greenville SC test stand facilities.

“We are looking forward to seeing RNG in action,” said Power Segment Sustainability Leader Nicolas Utard. “The Greenville test stands represent a large contribution to our scope 1 emissions.”

“By sourcing RNG Renewable Thermal Credits (RTC), GE Vernova will offset 4,500 tons of CO₂ in 2026,” shared Power Segment Sustainability Program Manager Estelle Posta. This amount of CO₂ offset is equivalent to annual emissions from about 887 typical passenger vehicles!

RNG is created by repurposing organic waste and capturing methane, also known as biogas. When injected into the Natural Gas Pipelines, renewable thermal credits (RTCs) are created on a thermal energy equivalency basis and are used for carbon accounting offsets.

For this pilot, GE Vernova is working with GreenGas, a Charleston based company, specializing in the production of RNG and RTC. GreenGas’s vertically integrated business model means RTC revenue results in a direct positive impact to the South Carolina economy and environment.

The initiation of this pilot will kick off an innovative way to reach our major goals in decarbonization – achieving net zero ambitions by 2050, as detailed in our sustainability report.
