The\nvisit included a tour of the facility and a meeting with OPAL Fuels Co-Chief\nExecutive Officer Adam Comora to discuss the role of domestic RNG production\nin providing a cost-effective, lower-emissions alternative to diesel fuel that\nstrengthens American energy security and supports economic growth in Northern\nVirginia.\n\n“We were honored to host Congressman Vindman and show him firsthand how the\nPrince William RNG facility turns a local waste stream into homegrown American\nenergy,” said Adam Comora, Co-Chief Executive Officer of OPAL Fuels.\n“Renewable natural gas strengthens our nation’s energy security, supports\njobs and investment here in Northern Virginia, and gives heavy-duty fleets a\nproven, cost-effective way to cut emissions. Our partnership with Prince\nWilliam County spans more than two decades, and this facility demonstrates the\nlasting impact that RNG can have on local communities and the nation's energy\nfuture.”\n\n\"The Prince William County RNG facility demonstrates how public-private\ncollaboration can create economic, energy, and environmental value for local\ncommunities,\" said Congressman Eugene Vindman. \"This facility puts a local\nresource to productive use while supporting American energy production and\ncontributing to economic growth in Northern Virginia. I commend the OPAL Fuels\nand Prince William County teams for building a model partnership that is\ndelivering tangible benefits for the community, the economy, and our energy\nfuture.\"\n\nThe Prince William RNG facility captures naturally occurring methane from the\ndecomposition of organic waste at the Prince William County landfill and\nconverts it into pipeline quality RNG that powers heavy-duty fleets across the\ncountry. Wholly owned by OPAL Fuels, the plant began commercial operations in\n2024 and has a nameplate design capacity of approximately 1.7 million MMBtu,\nor roughly 12 million gasoline gallon equivalents (GGE), per year. Operating\nat approximately 92% efficiency, the facility refines gas that was previously\ncombusted onsite into a usable clean fuel, cutting methane emissions at the\nlandfill by approximately 95%.\n\nThe longstanding partnership between OPAL and Prince William County Landfill\nhas delivered significant value through a shared commitment to operational\nexcellence. The landfill’s best-in-class disposal practices, combined with\nOPAL’s enhanced wellfield management and optimization initiatives, have\nincreased landfill-gas recovery by approximately 20% over the past year. OPAL\nbelieves there is additional opportunity for improvement over the coming\nmonths as optimization efforts continue. OPAL also extends its sincere thanks\nto the Prince William County team for its longstanding support and\ncollaboration, which have been instrumental to the project’s success and\ncontinued performance gains.\n\nIn addition, the visit comes on the heels of Prince William County's first\nEnvironmental Sustainability Annual Report, released in April 2026 by the\ncounty's Office of Sustainability, which features the Prince William RNG\nfacility as a case study in how long-term infrastructure investment and\npublic-private partnership can advance the county's climate and air-quality\ngoals. The facility captures methane that would otherwise be released or\nflared and converts it into a domestically produced fuel for heavy-duty\ntransportation. According to the report, emissions of key pollutants at the\nlandfill, including carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and\nvolatile organic compounds, have declined by more than 90% since the facility\nbegan operations, and methane emissions fell by more than half between 2023\nand 2024. The report also notes that, according to the U.S. Environmental\nProtection Agency's landfill gas database, the Prince William facility is the\nonly operating landfill-based RNG project in the Washington, D.C.,\nmetropolitan region.\n\nAbout OPAL Fuels\n\nOPAL Fuels\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opalfuels.com&esheet=54588516&newsitemid=20260813449835&lan=en-US&anchor=OPAL+Fuels&index=2&md5=628bea2f23134759debcf09d0a52fc9f)\n(Nasdaq: OPAL) is a leader in the capture and conversion of biogas into low\ncarbon intensity RNG and renewable electricity.
