Company background:

AMP Americas is a pioneer in the renewable energy industry.  The Company has developed and owns three dairy RNG projects, as well as twenty CNG fueling stations primarily serving heavy-duty truck fleets.  AMP continues to fulfill its mission of building RNG projects and developing commercial models to convert farm, industrial and municipal waste into sustainable sources of transportation fuel.  Since 2011, we have displaced over ~324,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide (32 million gallons of diesel fuel).  In 2018 alone, we displaced 83,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide (8 million gallons of diesel fuel) which is equivalent to taking over 18,000 cars off the road or planting over 98,000 acres of forest. That's a forest the size of Detroit, Denver, or Philadelphia!
