About Berq RNG

BerQ RNG builds and develops renewable natural gas projects in addition to buying and selling renewable natural gas. BerQ RNG is structured to contribute positively to the environment by using biogas that is currently flared into the atmosphere. Throughout North America, thousands of locations are flaring biogas because it is not pure enough or economical enough to use. We consider this a waste of resources and aim to eliminate this practice in North America. We have developed a business model that can use these resources economically and, as such, can earn money for our investors while cleaning up the environment.
