Alternative Fuels Including a Quick Charge For Semi-Trucks

Today we revisit the world of renewable natural gas (RNG) and learn about EV Charging stations for electric semi-trucks.  Hear Mike Koel, president of U.S. Energy on episode 195 of The Green Insider share his experiences, thoughts, and the story of U.S. Energy.

Mike’s journey went from trading natural gas to alternative fuels, including: CNG, RNG, and Renewable Diesel.

Learn why in the RNG markets:

  • farmers now know their manure is worth money because of it being a feedstock for RNG
  •   each location has small volumes and a higher price
  • the carbon intensity known as the CI score is factored into the RNG price

Finally hear about U.S. Energy’s development of a new product called, “Volt Vault.”  Mike notes that, “Volt Vault is a generator in a box.”  This produce was developed so that semi-trucks could charge in 30 minutes with a 185KW feed off NG, CNG, or RNG
