From Policy to Pavement: How RNG Is Powering Transportation with Ashley Remillard

This week on RNG Girls, Lisa Kitt and Skye Austin are joined by Ashley Remillard, Executive Vice President of Legal & Government Affairs and General Counsel at Hexagon Agility, and Executive Team Member at The Transport Project. Ashley works at the intersection of renewable natural gas, transportation, policy and global market development, helping shape conversations in the United States and beyond. This episode looks at RNG through a transportation lens, exploring how smart regulation, market design, infrastructure investment and government-industry collaboration can accelerate real-world adoption. Because RNG is no longer just an environmental story. It is becoming a transportation story. From California to Europe, India, the UK and beyond, fleets are using renewable natural gas to reduce emissions, improve fuel security, support heavy-duty transport, and create cleaner operations with technology that is available today. The conversation gets practical: 🔹 Why heavy-duty transportation is such an important market for RNG 🔹 What the US can learn from global approaches to RNG-powered transport 🔹 Why lifecycle emissions matter when measuring real impact 🔹 How California helped show what is possible through the LCFS 🔹 Why refuse trucks, transit buses and long-haul fleets are strong use cases for RNG 🔹 How energy security and fuel resilience are becoming part of the transport conversation 🔹 Why regulatory certainty can be as important as financial incentives 🔹 Why smart policy should focus on outcomes, not picking winners Ashley also shares why RNG has such a powerful role to play in decarbonising transport, particularly in heavy-duty applications where the technology, infrastructure and fuel are already available. It’s a strong listen for fleet operators, policymakers, developers, infrastructure providers, investors, transport leaders and anyone interested in cleaner, more resilient transportation systems.
