Q&A

Sanchez questions Gajwani on renewable natural gas output and on-site usage at Hunts Point

New York City Council · Sep 15, 2026 · starts 1:27:06 · 53 sec

Sanchez asks how much RNG will be produced daily at Hunts Point and what proportion used on-site. Gajwani estimates output similar to Newtown Creek (enough for 6,500 homes), with about 50-60% used on-site seasonally and the remainder distributed to the grid.

And approximately how much renewable natural gas will be produced per day?

Justin E. Sanchez

What proportion of that methane will be used on site?

Justin E. Sanchez

And how will the remainder be utilized?

Jane Gajwani

I believe that, and again, this is...

Jane Gajwani

Anticipating the maximum amount of food waste that we talked about, which is about 400 tons a day.

Jane Gajwani

Let me just do a really, I think that the, you know, I don't have that number in front of me.

Jane Gajwani

I'm trying to like quickly calculate.

Jane Gajwani

I could just get back to you on the total number, but it's probably in the same range of what we have for Newtown Creek, which is...

Jane Gajwani

6,500 homes, enough gas to heat 6,500 homes.

Jane Gajwani

As far as how much is used on site, it varies seasonally.

Jane Gajwani

But I think similar to Newtown Creek, I feel like it was on average about 50 or 60% would be used on site.
