Redtail Renewables CEO Claus Nussgruber recently joined hosts Lisa Kitt and Skye Austin on RNG Girls, the podcast on the people, projects and politics of Renewable Natural Gas. They talked about where the industry goes next and how Redtail is getting ready for it.
Claus spent more than three decades in industrial gases and energy before he came to RNG. That background shapes how we work at Redtail: scaling the business, executing with discipline and building long-term partnerships. In the episode he argues that the next breakthrough in RNG may not be a new technology at all. It may come from asking better questions.
The industry has already proven that RNG works. Now the questions are harder. How do we scale? How do we execute more consistently? How do we compete beyond policy support? And how do we build markets that value everything RNG delivers?
What Claus talks about in the episode
- Why fresh perspectives matter as RNG matures
- What he noticed when he first looked closely at landfill gas
- Why trust between developers and landfill owners is critical
- How Redtail is professionalising and scaling for its next chapter
- Why post-ITC projects can still work with the right discipline
- What selective capital means for the industry's next phase
- Why partnerships matter in long-term infrastructure
- Why RNG's "drop-in" advantage makes it different
Claus also covers what RNG can learn from industrial gases and why execution excellence matters more than ever. He explains why the next phase will take both creativity and discipline.
