On episode 219 of The Green Insider, we bring you another podcast discussing Renewable Natural gas. Today’s guest is Grant Gibson co-founder and Chief Development Officer for Synthica Energy.
Hear how Synthica can provide their customers with the choice of buying their natural gas plus the attribute or just buying the attribute, similar to buying a VPPA. Synthica takes feedstock predominantly sourced from large food and industrial plants – no sewage and no hazardous waste. Currently for their plant in Cincinnati they procure their organic waste from Proctor and Gamble and about 20 other local food and beverage manufacturers.
Their current growth plans include developing five to six more RNG plants around the U.S. over the next few years.

A “green entrepreneur,” Gibson is an expert in sustainable technologies that turn waste into energy. He also has a passion for ultra endurance mountain bike racing, which translates to his professional life.
