White Plains, NY, – OPAL Fuels Inc. (OPAL), a pioneering company in the biogas sector, reported its financial and operational results for the period ending December 31, 2024. The company’s focus on capturing and converting biogas into low carbon intensity renewable natural gas (RNG) and renewable electricity continued to yield positive results.
Financial Highlights
For the full year 2024, OPAL Fuels reported total revenues of $350 million, a 22% increase compared to the previous year. The company’s gross profit also grew by 27% to $150 million. OPAL’s net loss for the year was $12 million, a significant improvement from the net loss of $25 million reported in 2023.
Operational Progress
In terms of operational achievements, OPAL Fuels commissioned two new biogas upgrading facilities during 2024, expanding its overall capacity by 50%. The company’s RNG production increased by 30% to 60 million Dth (death therms) per year. Additionally, OPAL Fuels generated 150 MW of renewable electricity, marking a 25% increase over the previous year.
Strategic Objectives
Throughout 2024, OPAL Fuels continued to make progress on its strategic objectives. The company signed several long-term contracts for the sale of RNG and renewable electricity, securing a stable revenue stream. OPAL Fuels also expanded its partnerships with key industry players, including natural gas utilities and waste management companies, to further develop its biogas supply network.
Impact on Consumers
The increasing production of RNG by OPAL Fuels and other companies will lead to a larger supply of low carbon natural gas, resulting in more options for consumers looking to reduce their carbon footprint. This could potentially translate into lower prices for RNG and increased availability in various markets. However, it is important to note that the transition to RNG may require upgrades to existing natural gas infrastructure and may take time.
Impact on the World
The growing production of RNG is a significant step towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the natural gas sector. RNG is produced from biodegradable waste, such as agricultural waste, food waste, and wastewater, making it a sustainable alternative to traditional natural gas. The increased production and availability of RNG can help countries and industries meet their decarbonization targets and contribute to a more sustainable energy future.
Conclusion
OPAL Fuels’ strong performance in 2024 underscores the potential of the biogas sector in contributing to a low carbon energy future. The company’s operational achievements, financial growth, and strategic progress position OPAL Fuels well for continued success in the years to come.
