About Berq RNG

BerQ RNG builds and develops renewable natural gas projects in addition to buying and selling renewable natural gas. BerQ RNG is structured to contribute positively to the environment by using biogas that is currently flared into the atmosphere. Throughout North America, thousands of locations are flaring biogas because it is not pure enough or economical enough to use. We consider this a waste of resources and aim to eliminate this practice in North America. We have developed a business model that can use these resources economically and, as such, can earn money for our investors while cleaning up the environment.

  • Assist in developing and refining Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for lab testing and process control.
  • Maintain laboratory equipment, ensuring it is clean, calibrated, and functioning properly.
  • Troubleshoot and perform minor repairs on laboratory instruments, as needed, or coordinate with vendors for more extensive repairs and calibration services.
  • Follow all safety procedures and protocols in the laboratory to maintain a safe working environment
  • Ensure compliance with environmental regulations, including proper handling, storage, and disposal of samples and chemicals.
  • Assist in preparing compliance reports for regulatory agencies, as needed.
  • Work closely with plant operators, engineers, and management to share findings and implement process improvements.
  • Participate in plant meetings to discuss lab findings and their impact on plant operations.
  • Support ongoing research and development initiatives to improve biogas production, increase yield, and enhance digester efficiency.
  • Manage the inventory of laboratory supplies, including chemicals, reagents, and consumables, ensuring adequate stock levels.


Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry, Environmental Science, Biology, or a related field. An associated degree or college diploma with relevant experience may be considered.
