sourced
The United States drives renewable natural gas through market-based credits rather than a fixed tariff: California's LCFS assigns credits by carbon intensity - dairy-manure RNG can score around minus 250 gCO2e/MJ - and federal RINs operate under the Renewable Fuel Standard. Project economics there are a carbon-price story, not a procurement-price story.
