OPAL Fuels

OPAL Fuels was created through the merger of Fortistar's RNG production portfolio companies and TruStar Energy in December 2020, uniting decades of expertise in renewable energy under one vertically integrated platform. The company's founders recognized a critical opportunity: harmful methane emissions from landfills and dairy farms represent both a significant environmental challenge and an untapped energy resource. By capturing this methane at its source, purifying it into Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), and distributing it to replace diesel and other high-carbon fossil fuels, OPAL Fuels addresses two of the most pressing issues driving global climate change simultaneously.

Today, OPAL Fuels stands as one of the largest fully integrated RNG platforms in the United States, combining upstream biogas capture and processing capabilities with downstream marketing and distribution infrastructure. The company operates over 350 projects nationwide, including RNG production facilities at landfills and dairy farms, as well as a growing network of fueling stations serving heavy-duty truck fleets. Their waste-to-energy model transforms what would otherwise be harmful greenhouse gas emissions into a cost-effective, low-carbon fuel solution that typically costs up to 50% less than diesel while achieving 100% Scope 1 emission reductions. OPAL Fuels serves a diverse customer base including waste management companies, major retailers, municipalities, and industrial operators, all united by sustainability goals and cost reduction objectives.
