In a first for the pharma sector, AstraZeneca will tap renewable natural gas for its U.S. manufacturing sites by the end of 2026.
Pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca will tap renewable natural gas made from cow manure and food waste to sharply reduce its carbon footprint at U.S. operations starting now and over the next few years, the company announced Tuesday.
The companies estimate that by 2026, the collaboration will enable as much as 190,500 megawatt hours , or 650,000 million British thermal units , per year of renewable natural gas to be used across AstraZeneca’s U.S. sites. That’s the same energy required to heat more than 17,800 U.S. homes for a year.RNG is essentially biogas that has been processed to purity standards that replicate traditional natural gas, according to the Department of Energy.
She sees the renewable natural gas contracts as part of a longer-run transition to net-zero carbon emissions across health systems and the embrace of a circular economy that turns waste and excess energy back into use.
