Noble Environmental Inc., a privately held, vertically integrated solid waste management company headquartered in Canonsburg, Pa., recently completed the sale of roughly $34.8 million in investment tax credits generated by two of its renewable natural gas (RNG) facilities.
Noble also commenced commercial operations at three new facilities, two of which were included in the transaction, according to company officials.
“I am proud of the RNG development team, led by Andrew Yohe, Eric Kettering, and Andrew Thomas, for their tireless work over the last 12 months to build high-performing plants quickly,” said Nick Stork, chairman of Noble. “RNG continues to play a critical role in the energy transition, and we look forward to unlocking more RNG value at Noble landfills in the near term.”
The three newly commissioned facilities upgrade landfill gas into pipeline-quality RNG by capturing methane that would otherwise be emitted into the atmosphere.
RNG is increasingly recognized as a scalable decarbonization tool for the waste, transportation, industrial, and utility sectors, according to Noble, which said that compared with conventional natural gas, RNG can reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by more than 50 percent and air pollutants by up to 90 percent.
The fuel is fully compatible with existing pipeline networks and end-use equipment, providing a drop-in solution for organizations seeking real, measurable emissions reductions, Noble said on Dec. 31, 2025.
