OPAL Fuels welcomed Congressman Eugene Vindman (VA-07) to its renewable natural gas (RNG) facility at the Prince William County Landfill in Manassas, Virginia. The visit included a tour of the facility and discussions on the role of domestically produced RNG in reducing emissions, supporting heavy-duty transportation and strengthening energy security.
During the visit, Congressman Vindman met with Adam Comora, Co-Chief Executive Officer of OPAL Fuels, to discuss the company’s work in converting landfill gas into pipeline-quality renewable natural gas. The facility captures methane produced by the decomposition of organic waste and processes it into fuel for heavy-duty fleets.
The Prince William RNG facility began commercial operations in 2024 and is wholly owned by OPAL Fuels. It has a nameplate design capacity of approximately 1.7 million MMBtu, equivalent to about 12 million gasoline gallon equivalents annually. The facility operates at approximately 92% efficiency and has helped reduce methane emissions from the landfill by around 95%.
“Renewable natural gas strengthens our nation’s energy security, supports jobs and investment here in Northern Virginia, and gives heavy-duty fleets a proven, cost-effective way to cut emissions,” said Adam Comora, Co-Chief Executive Officer, OPAL Fuels. He also highlighted the company’s more than two-decade partnership with Prince William County.
Congressman Eugene Vindman said the facility demonstrates how public-private partnerships can create economic, energy and environmental benefits for local communities. He noted that the project makes productive use of a local resource while supporting domestic energy production and economic activity in Northern Virginia.
OPAL Fuels and Prince William County have continued to improve the performance of the landfill gas recovery system. The landfill’s disposal practices, combined with OPAL’s wellfield management and optimisation efforts, have increased landfill-gas recovery by approximately 20% over the past year.
The visit follows the release of Prince William County’s first Environmental Sustainability Annual Report in April 2026. The report features the RNG facility as an example of how long-term infrastructure investment and public-private cooperation can support environmental and air-quality objectives.
According to the county report, emissions of carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds at the landfill have declined by more than 90% since the facility began operations. Methane emissions also fell by more than half between 2023 and 2024.
OPAL Fuels (Nasdaq: OPAL) specializes in capturing and converting biogas into renewable natural gas (RNG) and renewable electricity. The company also focuses on the marketing and distribution of RNG for heavy-duty transportation and other industries where reducing carbon emissions is challenging.
