Promoting Innovative Solutions to Power America's Economy To a Cleaner Future
Learn MoreThe Waste Gas Capture Initiative is dedicated to securing America’s energy future through waste methane capture. Coal Mine Methane, or Remediated Mine Gas (RMG), is produced by capturing and upgrading waste gases from active and abandoned mines. This underutilized resource strengthens America’s energy security by putting otherwise wasted fuels to productive use.
Waste methane capture is a largely untapped source of reliable, American energy that creates good-paying jobs in some of the nation’s most socio-economically challenged regions. By advancing an all-of-the-above, domestic energy strategy, the WGCI is working to power America with its own resources.
The Waste Gas Capture Initiative advocates for the capture of waste methane and utilization of remediated mine gas, a sustainable, clean source of domestic natural gas. We believe a strong RMG industry can increase American energy security, power America’s growth by meeting rising energy needs, and catalyze new economic investment in coal communities throughout the United States.
