When a logging truck rumbles down a gravel road in our Oregon timberlands, it usually burns diesel — a reliable but carbon-intensive fuel. That’s beginning to change. This summer, our first fleet of renewable natural gas (RNG) trucks started rolling out of Goshen, Oregon, marking a new chapter in Weyerhaeuser’s longstanding exploration of alternative fuels.
“We’re always looking for ways to reduce costs, cut emissions and strengthen the resilience of our operations,” says Gary Romine, Oregon transportation manager. “The timing and technology finally lined up to make RNG viable for log hauling, and we’re excited to see where that gets us.”
