With 17,000+ U.S. Sites Ready to Develop, Emissions Control Can't Be an Afterthought

LONG BEACH, CA, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire / -- As biogas and renewable natural gas (RNG) production expands across the United States and Europe, Ship & Shore Environmental is addressing a critical challenge facing the industry: controlling emissions generated by facilities designed to produce cleaner energy.

According to the American Biogas Council, approximately 2,600 U.S. sites produce biogas, with more than 17,000 additional sites having development potential. In Europe, installed biomethane capacity increased 17% compared with 2025, according to the European Biogas Association. This expansion underscores the importance of incorporating effective emissions management into renewable energy infrastructure.

Ship & Shore Environmental is applying its industrial air pollution control expertise to help biogas producers, wastewater treatment facilities and landfill gas operators manage complex gas streams, meet applicable environmental requirements and improve operational efficiency.

Addressing Emissions Challenges in a Growing Industry

Biogas and RNG can recover energy from organic waste, but production and treatment processes can create gas streams containing methane, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other contaminants. The appropriate control approach depends on gas composition, operating conditions and site-specific permit requirements.

Ship & Shore works with project teams to integrate emissions-control equipment early in facility planning, helping operators account for changing process conditions, long-term operating costs and air quality obligations.

Customized Technologies for Biogas, Wastewater and Landfill Gas

Ship & Shore designs and manufactures regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs), multi-stage thermal oxidizers, direct-fired thermal oxidizers, H2S scrubbers, ammonia scrubbers, SCR, SNCR, Dust collectors and pyrolysis furnace systems. RTOs recover heat from treated exhaust streams, potentially reducing supplemental fuel requirements; direct-fired systems can be suited to applications with different methane concentrations, footprints or process demands.

For a major wastewater treatment facility in Rialto, California, Ship & Shore supplied a customized multi-stage thermal oxidizer and pyrolysis furnace system. Where needed to meet site-specific requirements, the company also engineers nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction technologies, including selective noncatalytic reduction.

Project Experience Across Different Site Constraints

. Galveston, Texas: A 15,000 SCFM RTO used silica-resistant media to address compounds in the process gas, achieving 97% thermal effectiveness.
. Alvin, Texas: A 10,000 SCFM direct-fired thermal oxidizer addressed higher methane concentrations through burner and process-line design, flame arrestors and PLC-based monitoring.
. Lynchburg, Tennessee: A 15,000 SCFM RTO was designed for methane concentrations varying from 0% to 11%, achieving 95% thermal efficiency.
. Lawton, Oklahoma: A compact 5,000 SCFM vertical direct-fired thermal oxidizer was configured for a space-constrained biogas upgrading facility.
. Enid, Oklahoma: A 2,200 SCFM vertical direct-fired thermal oxidizer achieved 99% destruction efficiency.

“Biogas operators are producing cleaner energy, but the emissions generated throughout that process deserve the same level of attention and engineering expertise,” said Anoosheh Oskouian, CEO of Ship & Shore Environmental.“Integrating the right emissions-control technology from the beginning helps operators protect air quality, improve efficiency and ensure that the environmental benefits of renewable energy production are fully realized.”

“Every facility presents a different set of challenges, from fluctuating methane concentrations to space constraints and stringent emissions requirements,” said Anu Vij, COO of Ship & Shore Environmental.“Our experience across these diverse projects demonstrates how customized engineering can help operators achieve reliable performance while meeting their environmental objectives.”

As investment in biogas, RNG and waste-to-energy infrastructure continues, Ship & Shore emphasizes that emissions management should be integrated into project planning rather than treated as an afterthought.
