APPLETON, WI, Aug. 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — US profita leader in the development and distribution of alternative fuels and renewable energy, is pleased to welcome Ty Severson and Ashley Duplechien as its new Directors of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Business Development.

Within these roles, Severson and Duplechien will drive the growth and optimization of US Gain’s growing portfolio of RNG projects. From nurturing new relationships to leveraging existing partnerships, together they will expand US Gain’s presence in the RNG markets and identify new opportunities to connect supply to end users beyond transportation.

“LCFS credit and RIN market pricing has resulted in RNG supply being dispensed predominantly as transportation fuel,” shared Bryan Nudelbacher, US Gain’s vice president of business development – RNG. “However, we are gradually observing this shift in focus. More and more organizations are turning to RNG to voluntarily make CO2 reductions or to use it as a feedstock to manufacture other low-carbon fuels – resulting in increased demand for RNG as an alternative fuel source.”

Severson brings over twenty years of experience in the power and renewable energy markets to US Gain. He began his career at Cargill where he quickly delved into power trading, procurement and utility relationships with a focus on the Southeast market. From there, Severson led new product development for Cargill’s Electrical and Dielectric Fluids business, focusing on utilities in the East Interconnector. He later accepted a position as Vice President of Power Marketing for National Renewable Solutions – a role in which he presented the wind, solar and storage portfolio to utility and corporate customers.

Most recently, Severson joined US Gain as a former director of renewable energy from Avant Energy, where he worked in 13 communities in suburban Minneapolis, leading the offtake from an existing 8MW renewable gas power generation facility to a pure RNG facility .
