Harrisburg Water Authority Recognized for RNG Project Amid Global Clean Fuel Push
What happened
Capital Region Water, a municipal water authority serving the greater Harrisburg area, was honored for its $27 million Energy Recovery Improvements Project, which produces renewable natural gas (RNG) from organic waste. Cespira, a joint venture between Volvo Group and Aetherion™ Technologies, was also recognized for its role in scaling RNG adoption. Cespira's proprietary HPDI™ fuel system is used in over 10,000 trucks globally.

Why it matters
The recognition comes as high diesel prices, exceeding $6 per gallon, are changing fuel economics and squeezing fleets. This environment is stimulating the adoption of clean alternatives like RNG, which is being scaled by producers like OPAL Fuels.
