Compliance with Low Carbon Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)

StandardRNG™ is a renewable gas that helps facilities meet regulatory requirements, without retrofits, construction, or equipment changes.

Fines Are Coming. Are You Ready?

If your building exceeds 25,000 sq. ft. in NYC, Local Law 97 (LL97) applies to you. The city’s strict climate mandate enforces carbon emission limits with penalties starting January 2025.

Fines range from $50,000 to over $200,000 annually, depending on building type, usage, and excess emissions.

Don’t wait for the notice. The time to act is now.

The Simpler Way to Comply with LL97

StandardRNG™ is a low carbon renewable natural gas that can deliver immediate LL97 compliance, without construction, equipment replacement, or disruption to building operations.

Unlike traditional approaches that require retrofitting HVAC systems or electrifying your entire building, StandardRNG™ works with what you already have. It’s chemically identical to regular natural gas, but has a much lower carbon intensity up to 65% lower.

All it takes is a fuel switch.

Your building receives StandardRNG™ through your existing utility infrastructure. No permits. No downtime. No major capital projects.

Making Compliance Work for NYC Buildings

From co-ops and condos to commercial buildings and mixed-use spaces, StandardRNG™ is already helping New York property owners chart a smoother path to Local Law 97 compliance.

Here’s what we’re seeing:

  • Buildings using StandardRNG™ to lower their carbon intensity without disrupting operations or replacing equipment.
  • Many have been able to pursue compliance strategies without touching HVAC systems, electrifying their heating, or investing in large capital projects.
  • Property owners are turning to certified renewable gas to meet near-term mandates while staying flexible for long-term upgrades.

These results aren’t hypothetical. They reflect real applications in buildings navigating real compliance deadlines. StandardRNG™ provides a fuel-based pathway that’s already delivering value where it matters most: on-site, on-budget, and on time.
