About Novilla RNG

Novilla RNG is a nationwide developer of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) projects at dairies across the continent. Our mission is providing a sustainable and beneficial path for North American agriculture to reduce their greenhouse gas footprint and create a reliable income stream. Our process digests cow manure, creating biogas that is purified into pipeline quality renewable natural gas that can be used in a variety of ways.
