Renewable natural gas (RNG), also known as biogas, is expected to be an important part of the renewable energy future, along with wind and solar. The International Energy Agency (IEA) expects the use of RNG to more than double over the next 20 years.
Greenlane Renewables Inc. (TSXV:GRN) is in the RNG business, turning ‘waste’ gas, such as that created from decomposing food in landfills and cow manure, into usable natural gas to power trucks, feed into existing nat gas pipelines, and to create fertilizer. Think of it as natural gas recycling.

Raymond James analyst David Quezada is a big believer in Greenlane’s future, initiating coverage on the stock recently with a “Strong Buy” rating and a $1.25 per share target price, suggesting more than 92% upside from present levels.
“Our bullish stance is a function of: 1) Substantial industry growth in RNG driven by a steep adoption curve similar to the early days of wind and solar power as gas utilities are pressured to decarbonize; 2) the company’s strong competitive positioning with three key RNG upgrading technologies; 3) sales momentum via $38-million in large orders year-to-date; and 4) a valuation that has lagged clean tech peers in recent months despite the aforementioned sales wins,” he said.
Shares of Greenlane Renewables have soared more than 447% over the past year to its current price of $2.30 a share.
