About the Company
- At BerQ RNG, we turn waste into opportunity.
- We're on a mission to make renewable natural gas a mainstream, reliable, and part of North America's clean energy future, capturing biogas that would otherwise be flared into the atmosphere and transforming it into something valuable: clean, renewable fuel.
- Across the U.S. and Canada, countless sites release biogas because it's "too hard" or "too expensive" to use. We see that as a challenge worth solving.
- Our team builds, owns, and operates RNG projects that prove sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand.
- Every project we develop helps farmers, communities, and investors participate in the energy transition while directly reducing emissions.
