The future of clean energy starts in the field
Clean fuel. Local roots. Global impact
VISION
"Straw-powered. Carbon-conscious. Future-ready"
Our RNG plants convert straw and other organic materials into biomethane to produce biogas or generate electricity. The process by-products are further refined into nutrient-rich fertilizers and liquid nutrients, which support the following year’s wheat crops, reducing reliance on fossil-based fertilizers and provide carbon lock up. This closed-loop approach yields a negative Carbon Intensity (CI) score, driving down harmful methane release while providing low carbon power and fuels.
In our closed-loop system, we source straw from fields typically within 30 miles of our RNG (Renewable Natural Gas) facilities. During the conversion process, methane is captured and used for energy, while the CO2 is repurposed for beverage production and as a feedstock for fuel.
After processing, the remaining fibre and liquid are transformed into fertilizer and returned to the fields. This significantly reduces farmers’ reliance on fossil-based fertilizers, supporting more sustainable farming practices.
We are your long-term partner in renewable fuels, supporting fleet decarbonization while saving you money and helping the planet. Our RNG hub-and-spoke plants scale up to 200 MW, enabling us to serve major data centers, heavy industry, and large blue-chip corporations. Every facility comes with a fully bonded biogas output warranty, underpinned by a secure, long-term feedstock agreement managed and serviced by our dedicated feedstock subsidiary.

Tons of straw bought supporting farmers through fair value pay and index linked
At Hard Red Energy, our pipe line of RNG plants will use over 6 million tons of agricultural straw each year directly from farmers, transforming this underutilized resource into renewable natural gas (RNG).
This clean energy is then used to power transport, homes, and businesses across the country.
Our RNG supports some of the most energy-intensive sectors, including data centers, large-scale manufacturing, and leading technology companies.
We also provide sustainable fuel solutions for major logistics networks and consumer goods producers committed to decarbonizing their operations. By turning agricultural waste into clean energy, we’re helping to build a more resilient, low-carbon future—one bale of straw at a time.

Our Climate Impact
By converting 6.1 million tons of agricultural straw into renewable natural gas each year, we eliminate the need for open-field burning—avoiding over 9 million tons of CO₂ and nearly 1 million tons CO₂e in methane emissions. We also capture and reuse 2.6 million tons of biogenic CO₂, replacing fossil carbon in beverages and renewable fuels. Finally, we return 5.15 million tons of fiber digestate to farmland, locking away an additional 3.8 million tons of CO₂ in the soil. Together, our circular system sequesters or avoids more than 16 million tons of CO₂e annually, while cutting fine particulate pollution by over 15,000 tons and restoring soil health.
At Hard Red Energy Inc., we work alongside trusted partners to deliver long-term, fixed (index-linked) Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for Biogas, Biogenic CO₂, Renewable Electricity, Compressed Biogas, Transport Fuels and Feedstocks. Through a comprehensive suite of contracts—including design, construction, operations & maintenance (O&M), and PPAs—we help you lower your carbon footprint, reduce your Carbon Intensity (CI) score, meet your ESG objectives, cutting Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions along with VCU carbon credits.

WHY Hard Red Energy Inc
A Different Approach, Thinking Outside of the Box
At Hard Red Energy, we see RNG plants as a true Pandora’s box of possibility. They’re not just about generating renewable energy or producing RNG – they’re about unlocking a world of sustainable solutions. From biogenic CO2 capture to compressed RNG and alternative fuels, these plants harness the full power of nature’s cycle. By taking straw from the field and returning vital nutrients and fiber to the soil, we create a carbon sink that helps lock up CO2, closing the loop in a way that benefits the environment at every stage. It’s renewable energy, regenerative farming, and cutting-edge technology, all working together to drive the future of sustainable energy.

When selecting future sites, we conduct thorough site-specific studies to ensure the availability of natural resources and confirm that they will remain unaffected by our operations. Key requirements include accessing existing gas main, a reliable supply of feedstock, and either process water (preferred) or well water.
Environmental assessments are integral to our process. We perform detailed ground and air studies to meet permitting requirements and ensure the sustainability of our projects. Additionally, we evaluate the surrounding area to confirm there is a sufficient local workforce to operate the plant. To support this, we run a comprehensive training program, equipping local residents with the necessary skills and contributing valuable income to the community and its economy.
Before any project receives funding or construction begins, we complete a full cost-resource map and cost analysis to ensure the project’s feasibility and long-term success.
