[{"type":"text","content":" WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nOPAL Fuels Inc. (“OPAL Fuels” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: OPAL), a leading vertically integrated producer and distributor of renewable natural gas (RNG), today announced financial and operating results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022.\n\n“OPAL Fuels has continued to execute on its strategic and operational goals,” said Co-CEO Adam Comora. “After bringing three RNG projects online in 2022, we now have seven in operation, six under construction and a growing Advanced Development Pipeline.\n\n“RNG production in 2022 grew 38% compared to 2021, and we are forecasting production growth to accelerate to over 50% in 2023. We also expect accelerated production growth in 2024 as our projects in construction become operational. In addition, as projects continue to move into and through our Advanced Development Pipeline (ADP) and into construction, we are setting the foundation for meaningful production growth over the coming years.\n\n“The RNG industry continues to benefit from tailwinds as the potential benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) become clearer. Additionally, new pathways under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) such as eRINs are being considered and new offtake markets are developing.\n\n“More importantly, the flexibility of OPAL Fuels’ vertically integrated business platform continues to maximize value for stakeholders, reduces volatility from environmental credit pricing and provides optionality as public policy and markets continue to evolve. We expect that in the second half of 2023 we will begin to see the benefits of the IRA’s Investment Tax Credits (ITC) provisions. Additionally, guidance on the 45Z production tax credits, and clarification on the proposed eRIN pathway under the RFS program should be available. This should add to the industry tailwinds, providing meaningful benefits to our vertically integrated business.”\n\n“We anticipate putting at least 2.0 million MMBtu of RNG projects into construction this calendar year,” said Co-CEO Jonathan Maurer. “We also continue to expand our Advanced Development Pipeline1. Recently we added 0.8 million MMBtu of anticipated nameplate capacity to ADP, and now have a total of approximately 8.3 million MMBtu, across 19 projects.\n\n“In addition, as we continue to evaluate projects across the sector, we expect...
