Biogas is a mixture of methane and other gases produced from the natural decomposition of organic materials in landfills.

Biomethane is a pipeline-quality natural gas substitute that is produced by purifying biogas.

Converting the methane that leaks from landfills to biomethane has significant greenhouse gas reduction benefits. In addition, there's a 100% displacement of fossil fuels as biomethane is a renewable resource.

When combusted, biomethane has reduced NOx, PM, and greenhouse gas emissions.

Cummins Westport approves the use of up to 100% biomethane that meets Cummins published standard natural gas fuel specifications. See the Cummins Westport Technical Bulletin on Biogas or Biomethane Fuel Use Adobe Acrobat Document for more detail.
