[Digestion] PE-CNG A better name!

[Katahdin Energy Works]

I would caution you against using inventive, somewhat p.c., language in your
grant proposal when at some time in the future, to keep your bus running,
you have to resort to gases from other sources.

Other than time; there isn't all that much difference between our
Manure2Energytm digesters and one using gas from ancient deposits of manure
and organic matter.

What may be most important are the level of emissions from the bus; and not
the source of the gas. Having the 'greenest' bus on the block is almost like
have the most clever vanity plate; even worse is when you are passed by one
covered in solar panels!

All,

How about RNG-renewable natural gas?
