Opportunities:

The anticipation of 45Z production tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act which starts in January 2025 could significantly propel the company's revenue from renewable natural gas.
Risks:
The issuance of guidance for the 45Z production tax credit is still unclear under the current administration, leading to potential delays and uncertainties in revenue projections for the company's renewable natural gas operations.
