This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “future,” “goal,” “intends,” “may,” “objective,” “outlook,” “plans,” “projected,” “propose,” “seeks,” “target,” “will,” “would” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside our control, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors, among others, which may affect actual results or outcomes include:
▪
our ability to grow and manage growth profitably, and maintain relationships with customers and suppliers;
▪
our success in retaining or recruiting, our principal officers, key employees or directors;
▪
intense competition and competitive pressures from other companies in the industry in which we operate;
▪
increased costs of, or delays in obtaining, key components or labor for the construction and completion of landfill gas ("LFG") and livestock waste projects that generate electricity and renewable natural gas (“RNG”), compressed natural gas (“CNG”) and hydrogen dispensing stations;
▪
factors relating to our business, operations and financial performance, including market conditions and global and economic factors beyond our control;
▪
the reduction or elimination of government economic incentives to the renewable energy market;
▪
factors associated with companies that are engaged in the production and integration of RNG, including (i) anticipated trends, growth rates and challenges in those businesses and in the markets in which they operate, (ii) contractual arrangements with, and the cooperation of, owners and operators of the landfill and livestock biogas conversion project facilities, on which we operate our LFG and livestock waste projects that generate electricity and (iii) RNG prices for Environmental Attributes (as defined below), low carbon fuel standard ("LCFS") credits and other incentives;
▪
the ability to identify, acquire, develop and operate renewable projects and fueling stations ("Fueling Stations");
▪
our ability to issue equity or equity-linked securities or obtain or amend debt financing;
▪
the demand for renewable energy not being sustained;
▪
impacts of climate change, changing weather patterns and conditions and natural disasters; and
▪
the effect of legal, tax and regulatory changes.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 17, 2025 (our "Annual Report"). Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q uses several terms of art that are specific to our industry and business. For the convenience of the reader, a glossary of such terms is provided here.

At the Fueling Stations, the natural gas is pressurized using compressor systems and, in this state, is referred to as CNG. Because Environmental Attributes associated with RNG are nominated/assigned to the physical quantity of CNG dispensed at the Fueling Station, when the CNG is dispensed into to fuel tanks for use as transportation fuel and subsequently reported to the EPA and/or state environmental agency and matched with the production of RNG, the respective RINs and LCFS credits are generated. Some of these stations are designed, developed, constructed, operated and maintained by us while others are third party stations where we may only provide maintenance services.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OPAL Fuels, Inc. and its subsidiaries
(the “Company”, “OPAL Fuels”, “we,” “us” or “our”)
and reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim period. In addition, we have consolidated the financial results of jointly owned affiliated companies in which our principal stockholder or other entities have a noncontrolling interest. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The non-controlling interest attributable to the Company's variable interest entities ("VIE") are presented as a separate component from the Stockholders' (deficit) equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and as a non-redeemable non-controlling interest in the condensed consolidated statements of changes in redeemable non-controlling interests, redeemable preferred non-controlling interests and stockholders' equity (deficit).
As of
June 30, 2025
, the Company held equity interests in
twelve
VIEs — Pine Bend RNG LLC ("Pine Bend"), Noble Road RNG LLC ("Noble Road"), Paragon RNG LLC ("Paragon"), Emerald RNG LLC ("Emerald") - Paragon project, Sapphire RNG LLC ("Sapphire") - Paragon project, Land2Gas LLC ("Land2Gas"), Atlantic RNG LLC ("Atlantic") - Land2Gas project , Burlington RNG LLC ("Burlington") - Land2Gas project, GREP BTB Holdings LLC ("GREP"), Sunoma Holdings, LLC (“Sunoma”), Central Valley LLC (“Central Valley”), and CMS RNG LLC ("CMS"). Pine Bend, Noble Road GREP, Paragon projects, Land2Gas projects were presented as equity method investments and the remaining three VIEs — Sunoma, Central Valley, and CMS are consolidated by the Company.
On May 9, 2025, the Company acquired a variable interest in CMS, a joint venture formed with a third party to develop, construct, own, and operate a renewable natural gas facility. The Company holds a
70
% membership interest in CMS RNG, and the remaining
30
% is held by the third-party partner.
Based on an evaluation under ASC 810,
Consolidation
(
"ASC 810"),
management determined that CMS RNG is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary. This conclusion is based on the Company’s power to direct the activities that most significantly impact CMS RNG’s economic performance and its exposure to the entity’s residual returns. As a result, CMS RNG has been consolidated in the Company’s financial statements beginning in the second quarter of 2025.
At the time of formation, the Company and the third-party partner made net capital co
ntributions of $
4,646
an
d $
1,998
, respectively. A noncontrolling interest ("NCI") of $
1,998
was recognized for the portion of CMS RNG not owned by the Company.
The Company will reassess its primary beneficiary conclusion on an ongoing basis, including upon execution of additional agreements and commencement of commercial operations.
The condensed consolidated balance sheets summarize the major consolidated balance sheet items for consolidated VIEs as of
June 30, 2025
and December 31, 2024. The information is presented on an aggregate basis based on similar risk and reward characteristics and the nature of our involvement with the VIEs, such as:
•
All of the VIEs are RNG facilities and they are reported under the RNG Fuel Supply segment;
•
The nature of our interest in these entities is primarily equity based and therefore carry similar risk and reward characteristics.
The 2024 year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The interim financial information and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Annual Report") as the interim disclosures generally do not repeat those in the annual financial statements and are condensed in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
The Company is organized into
three
operating segments based on the characteristics and the nature of products and services. The
three
operating segments are RNG Fuel, Fuel Station Services and Renewable Power.

All amounts in these footnotes are presented in thousands of dollars except share and per share data.
Use of estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates and assumptions of the Company include the residual value of the useful lives of our property, plant and equipment, the impairment of long-lived assets, the fair value of stock-based compensation, asset retirement obligations, percentage completion for revenue recognition, incremental borrowing rate for calculating the right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities, the impairment assessment of goodwill and the fair value of derivative instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.
The Company provides all third-party construction contracts with a warranty, typically for a period of one year after substantial completion of the construction project. These warranties are accounted for under ASC 460,
Guarantees
("ASC 460"), and not as a separate performance obligation. Generally, the company estimates warranty costs based on historical claims experience, and other factors. Actual warranty claims may differ from the estimates, and adjustments to the liability are made as necessary. The Company accrued $
219
and $
171

Related Party Revenues

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In August 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-05,
Business Combinations- Joint Venture Formations
(Subtopic 805-60) ("ASU 2023-05"). The update requires all joint ventures formed after January 1, 2025, upon formation, to apply a new basis of accounting and initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value. ASU 2023-05 is effective prospectively for joint ventures with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. During the six months ended June 2025, the Company formed a joint venture that was excluded from this guidance due to the scope exception applicable to combinations between entities, businesses, or nonprofit activities under common control. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740),
Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures
. The amendments further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments require disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and further disaggregation of income taxes paid for individually significant jurisdictions. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the disclosures within our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional, disaggregated disclosure about certain income statement line items. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and is required to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the disclosures within our condensed consolidated financial statements.

On March 3, 2025, OPAL Fuels Intermediate HoldCo LLC, as the borrower (the “Borrower”), certain subsidiaries of the Borrower, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), the lenders and issuers of letters of credit party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as the administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) entered into that certain Amendment No. 1 to Credit and Guarantee Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”), with respect to that certain Credit and Guarantee Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated September 1, 2023, by and among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the financial institutions from time to time parties thereto as lenders and as issuers of letters of credit, and the other agents and persons from time to time party thereto (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time).
The Credit Agreement Amendment makes certain changes to the applicability of certain financial covenants and modifies other covenants to clarify the use of loan proceeds. Additionally, the Credit Agreement Amendment permits the organizational restructuring of the Guarantors in a manner designed to facilitate the sale of federal investment tax credits and the ability to raise additional future capital.
The Credit Agreement Amendment also eases the conditions precedent to making new Projects eligible for borrowing under the Credit Agreement, extends the availability period for delay draw term loans under the Credit Agreement through March 5, 2026, and extends the commencement of repayment of such term loans until March 31, 2026. The Amendment was accounted for as a modification in the six month period ended June 30, 2025.
In connection with the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Borrower paid the Administrative Agent, for the account of each lender, a one-time nonrefundable fee of $
1,250
. These costs have been recorded as a direct reduction against the debt and amortized over the life of the associated debt as a component of interest expense using the effective interest method.

40,000

Fair value measurements
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities.
The carrying value of the Company's long-term debt, which are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, of $
321,326
and
$
297,624
as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, approximates its fair value because our interest rate is variable and reflects current market rates.
The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations by recording the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made.
The Company estimated the fair value of its asset retirement obligations based on discount rates ranging from
5.8
% to
8.5
%.
The fair value of the Sponsor Earnout Awards as of June 30, 2025 was determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model with a distribution of potential outcomes on a daily basis over the
2.0
years remaining in the vesting window. Assumptions used in the valuation are as follows:
•
Current stock price — The Company's closing stock price of $
2.42
as of June 30, 2025;
•
Expected volatility —
50
% based on historical and implied volatilities of selected industry peers deemed to be comparable to our business corresponding to the expected term of the awards;
•
Risk-free interest rate —
3.7
% based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of issuance for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities corresponding to the expected
2.0
year term of the earnout period;
•
Dividend yield -
zero
.
Convertible note receivable
In July 2024, the Company purchased a convertible note pursuant to which the Company has the right to convert the note into shares of Class A common stock of the investee. As of June 30, 2025
,
the fair value of the convertible note was equal to $
1,575
and presented within prepaid expense and other current assets.
There were no transfers of assets between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2025.
The Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy:

Purchase and sale agreement for environmental attributes
In January 2025, the EPA implemented a new framework in which (1) RNG producers are eligible to claim a “K-1”
RINs
on their volumes of RNG produced, and (2) dispensers are eligible to claim “K-2” RINs on natural gas volumes dispensed as truck fuel, provided they also have a corresponding K-1 RIN to demonstrate the renewable sourcing of gas. The creation of distinct “K-1” and “K-2” RINs creates flexibility for RNG producers to generate and sell K-1 RINs to dispensers independent of the K-2 registration process or dispensing activities. K-1 RINs are only useful for the purpose of registering a K-2 RIN, and K-2 RINs are used to record the environmental offset (similar to a traditional RIN). The introduction of K-1 and K-2 RINs gives rise to a new form of commercial transaction for Opal that is distinct from previous RIN minting arrangements.
On March 26, 2025, the Company entered into a NAESB Base Contract with NextEra (together with certain special conditions, a letter agreement, and an RNG addendum, the "NAESB Contract"). In accordance with the NAESB Contract, the Company could enter into transaction confirmations on a periodic basis for the sale of RNG generated by the RNG Fuels business and NextEra could elect to utilize the Company to market such RNG to generate RINs for NextEra. In March and June 2025, the Company and NextEra entered into such transaction confirmations.
The Company concluded that production and dispensing services represent separate performance obligations. Control over K-1 RINs transfers at the time of gas generation or upon delivery of the RINs. Revenue is recognized at the time control is transferred. The consideration associated with dispensing services is recognized into revenue by the Company when it satisfies its performance obligation by pairing the paperwork associated with the dispensing.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized revenues of $
5,586
and $
10,603
, respectively, under the NAESB contract, which were recorded as part of Revenues - RNG Fuel.

Service agreements with related parties
On March 17, 2025, Fortistar, through its subsidiary Wasatch RNG LLC (“Wasatch RNG”), acquired all of the limited liability company interests outstanding in Alpro SD, LLC (“Alpro” and such acquired interest, the “Alpro Interest”). Alpro owns a
50
% limited liability company interest in Wasatch Resource Recovery, LLC (the “Project” or “Wasatch” and such ownership interest, the “Wasatch Interest”) and a
50
% tenancy-in-common interest in certain real estate and operating assets used by Wasatch (the “Project Interest”). The Project captures and converts biogas generated from food waste to produce pipeline quality renewable natural gas (RNG). The Project generates revenue from long-term contracted gas sales, tipping fees, and digestate (fertilizer) sales.
In connection with the acquisition, Fortistar Services 2 LLC and OPAL Fuels LLC entered into an amendment to its existing Administrative Services Agreement, pursuant to which OPAL Fuels will provide certain services to Wasatch RNG in exchange for certain agreed upon fees and expense reimbursements. These services include oversight of the plan to improve the operations and productivity of the Project. Either party may, at its sole election and on ninety (
90
) days advance written notice, terminate Company's provision of services to Wasatch Resource Recovery LLC ("Wasatch"), at which time the Management Fee and the Wasatch Remediation Fee shall also terminate.
Additionally, Wasatch RNG and OPAL Fuels entered into an Option Agreement, pursuant to which Wasatch RNG granted an option to OPAL Fuels to purchase the Alpro Interest. The exercise period of the option commenced upon closing of the acquisition and will terminate on the third anniversary of the closing of the acquisition, or ninety days following a change of control of OPAL Fuels. The exercise price of the option would be determined such that Wasatch RNG would earn an internal rate of return on its invested capital of
10
% percent per year if the option is exercised in the first year,
15
% per year if exercised in the second year, and
20
% per year if exercised in the third year.
Wasatch RNG is determined to be a VIE due to their having insufficient equity investment at risk to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support, and due to the fact that the holder of equity at risk in Wasatch RNG lacks the right to fully receive the expected residual returns. However, we are not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we do not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Accordingly, we do not consolidate the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of Wasatch RNG in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
During the first quarter of 2025, Scott Contino served as Interim CFO of the Company. Pursuant to the Interim Services Agreement, the Company paid Fortistar an agreed hourly rate, such that the monthly fee did not exceed $
50
, on a cumulative basis.

Class D Common Stock Conversion
On April 23, 2025, our ultimate controlling shareholder, Fortistar, through its subsidiary OPAL Holdco LLC, exchanged
50
million shares of Class D common stock of the Company held by it, each of which is entitled to
five
votes per share on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote, for an equal number of shares of newly issued Class B common stock of the Company, each of which is entitled to
one
vote on such matters. This transaction had no effect on the economic interest in the Company held by Fortistar.

Reportable Segments and Geographic Information
The Company is organized into
three
operating segments based on the characteristics of its renewable power generation, dispensing portfolio, production and sale of renewable gas, and nature of other products and services.
Our reportable segments disclosure is aligned with the information and internal reporting provided to our CODM. Our Co-CEOs, Adam Comora and Jonathan Maurer, jointly fulfill the role of the CODM. The CODM evaluates performance based on segment net income (loss). For all of the segments, the CODM uses segment net income (loss) in the annual budgeting and monthly forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-current forecast and prior forecast-to-current forecast variances for segment net income (loss) on a monthly basis for evaluating performance of each segment and making decisions about allocating capital and other resources to each segment.
The
three
operating segments are RNG Fuel, Fuel Station Services and Renewable Power. The Company has determined that each of the
three
operating segments meets the characteristics of a reportable segment under U.S. GAAP.
The Corporate entity is not determined to be an operating segment but is discretely disclosed for purposes of reconciliation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and though not denoted as an operating segment, significant expenses are noted within the segment.
The following table reflects the financial data used to calculate each reportable segment’s net income (loss) and includes reconciliations to Opal’s consolidated revenue and consolidated net income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025:

Income taxes
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $
13,686
and $
21,723
income tax benefit, respectively, as a result of the sale to a third-party purchaser of certain transferable Investment Tax Credits that had been generated by the Company from its investments in the RNG segment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded $
0
income tax benefit. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was
0
%. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% was primarily due to a full valuation allowance recorded on the Company’s net U.S. deferred tax assets. The Company evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law in the U.S. As the legislation was signed into law after the close of the Company's second quarter, its impacts are not reflected in the Company’s results for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company is in the process of evaluating the OBBBA and has not estimated its financial impact at this time.

Legal Matters
The Company is involved in various claims arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that the outcome of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Set forth below is information related to the Company’s material pending legal proceedings as of the date of this report, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business.
Central Valley Project
In September 2021, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, MD Digester, LLC (“MD”), entered into a fixed-price Engineering, Procurement and Construction Contract (an “EPC Contract”) with VEC Partners, Inc. d/b/a CEI Builders (“CEI”) for the design and construction of a turn-key renewable natural gas production facility using dairy cow manure as
33
feedstock in California’s Central Valley. In December 2021, a second indirect subsidiary of the Company, VS Digester, LLC (“VS”) entered into a nearly identical EPC Contract (collectively, the "EPC Contracts") with CEI for the design and construction of a second facility, also in California’s Central Valley. CEI’s performance under both of the EPC Contracts is fully bonded by licensed sureties.
CEI submitted a series of change order requests seeking to increase the EPC Contract Price by approximately $
14
million, per project, primarily due to: (1) modifications to CEI’s design drawings which are required to meet its contracted performance guaranties, and (2) a default by one of CEI’s major equipment manufacturers. The Company disputes the vast majority of the change order requests.
In January 2024, the Company filed a civil lawsuit captioned, MD Digester, LLC. et. al. vs. VEC Partners, Inc. et. al.; with the California Superior Court, County of San Joaquin; Action No. STK- CV-UCC-2024-0000185 and commenced a related arbitration proceeding in order to obtain a formal determination on the claims; AAA Case No. 01-24-0000-0775. The Superior Court Action has been stayed, pending the conclusion of the arbitration. In the meantime, the AAA has empaneled three experienced arbitrators and has set the hearing date for the matter, currently schedule in May 2026.
The EPC Agreement requires that CEI, continue working during the course of the litigation and related arbitration proceedings; however, CEI effectively stopped working. Between May and August 2024, MD issued a series of Notices of Default and Demands to Cure to CEI. CEI failed to cure, and on July 30, 2024, MD terminated CEI for default. MD notified CEI’s performance bond surety, Atlantic Specialty Insurance Company of the termination and demanded that it perform under the bond. Atlantic has denied the claim.
On July 11, 2024, VS issued a Notice of Default and Demand to Cure, advising CEI of its defaults and giving it an opportunity to cure. CEI failed to do so, and on August 27, 2024, VS terminated CEI for default. VS has notified CEI’s bond surety, also Atlantic, of the second termination and demanded that it perform under the performance bond. The surety has denied the claim.
As a result of CEI’s default and Atlantic’s denial of the claims, MD and VS have amended their claims in the AAA arbitration to include breach of contract claims against CEI and breach of performance bond claims against Atlantic (who was formally joined into the arbitration on November 20, 2024) in the AAA Arbitration with CEI.
CEI has since recorded mechanic’s liens against each of the projects for $
4,900
(MD) and $
2,000
(VS), and filed actions with the Stanislaus and San Joaquin County Superior Courts, respectively, to enforce their liens. MD and VS have since recorded bonds releasing the properties from the liens and it is expected that these claims will be stayed and consolidated with the pending arbitration proceeding.
In addition to the above-referenced action and arbitration, several of CEI’s subcontractors have recorded mechanic’s liens against the MD and VS projects, which the Company is obligated to defend and indemnify the dairy owners from and against. Several of liens were untimely and have been released.
The Company believes its claims against CEI (and the surety where bond claims are denied) have substantial merit, and intends to prosecute the claims vigorously. However, due to the incipient stage of the litigation and related arbitration, the recency of the termination, and the ongoing status of the proceedings and discussions with the bond surety, as well as the uncertainties involved in all litigation and arbitration, the Company is unable at this time to assess the likely outcome of the litigation and related arbitration, the timing of its resolution, or its ultimate impact, if any, on the Central Valley projects or the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
Former Development Partner/Construction Manager
In March 2024, the Company filed an action in the Orange County Superior Court (Case No. 30- 2024-01415510-CU-BC-CXC) against its former development partner and construction manager, Sierra Renewable Organics Management, LLC, as well as its principal (Ethan Werner) and affiliated engineering firm (CH Four Biogas) for Breach of Contract, Indemnity, Declaratory Relief, Intentional Misrepresentation and Negligent Misrepresentation relating to the design and development of the Projects. The case is not yet at issue, so no answer or cross claims have been filed yet, and no discovery has been conducted.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
In this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section, references to "OPAL," "we," "us," "our," and the "Company" refer to OPAL Fuels Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 17, 2025. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis includes certain forward-looking statements which reflect our current expectations. The Company's actual results may materially differ from these forward-looking statements.
Overview
The Company is a vertically integrated leader in the capture and conversion of biogas into low carbon intensity Renewable Power and RNG. OPAL Fuels is also a leader in the marketing and distribution of RNG to heavy duty trucking and other hard to de-carbonize industrial sectors. RNG is chemically identical to the natural gas used for cooking, heating homes and fueling natural gas engines, with one significant difference: RNG is produced by recycling methane emissions created by decaying organic waste as opposed to natural gas which is a fossil fuel pumped from the ground. We have participated in the biogas-to-energy industry for over 20 years.
Biogas is generated by microbes as they break down organic matter in the absence of oxygen, and is comprised of non-fossil waste gas, with high concentrations of methane, which is the primary component of RNG and the source for combustion utilized by Renewable Power plants to generate electricity. Biogas can not only be collected and processed to remove impurities for use as RNG (a form of high-Btu fuel) and injected into existing natural gas pipelines as it is fully interchangeable with fossil natural gas, but partially treated biogas can be used directly in heating applications (as a form of medium-Btu fuel) or in the production of Renewable Power. Our principal sources of biogas are (i) landfill gas, which is produced by the decomposition of organic waste at landfills, and (ii) dairy manure, which is processed through anaerobic digesters to produce the biogas.
We also design, develop, construct, operate and service Fueling Stations for trucking fleets across the country that use natural gas to displace diesel as their transportation fuel. We have participated in the alternative vehicle fuels industry for over a decade and have established an expanding network of Fueling Stations for dispensing RNG. In addition, we have recently begun implementing design, development, and construction services for hydrogen fueling stations, and we are pursuing opportunities to diversify our sources of biogas to other waste streams.
As of June 30, 2025, we owned and operated 26 projects, 11 of which are RNG projects and 15 of which are Renewable Power Projects. As of that date, our RNG projects in operation had a design capacity of 8.8 million MMBtus per year and our Renewable Power Projects in operation had a nameplate capacity of 105.8 MW per hour. In addition to these projects in operation, we are actively pursuing expansion of our RNG-generating capacity and, accordingly, have a portfolio of RNG projects in construction or in development, with six of our current Renewable Power Projects being considered candidates for conversion to RNG projects in the foreseeable future.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the SEC, which apply to interim financial statements. The preparation of those financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Critical accounting policies are those that reflect significant judgments of uncertainties and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We have described below what we believe are our most critical accounting policies, because they generally involve a comparatively higher degree of judgment in their application. For a detailed description of all our accounting policies, see Note 1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein and the section titled “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Key Factors and Trends Influencing our Results of Operations
The principal factors affecting our results of operations and financial condition are the markets for RNG, Renewable Power, and associated Environmental Attributes, access to suitable biogas production resources, the regulatory environment of our industry, and the seasonality of demand and pricing for our products. Additional factors and trends affecting our business are discussed in "
Risk Factors
" elsewhere in this report.
Market Demand for RNG
Demand for our converted biogas and associated Environmental Attributes, including RINs and LCFS credits, is heavily influenced by United States federal and state energy regulations together with commercial interest in renewable energy products. Markets for RINs and LCFS credits arise from regulatory mandates that require refiners and blenders to incorporate renewable content into transportation fuels. The EPA annually sets proposed renewable volume obligations ("RVOs") for D3 RINs in accordance with the mandates established by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. In June 2023, the EPA set RVOs for 2023 through 2025 via a new Set rule. This 3 year RVO is expected to reduce volatility in RIN pricing for the associated period. On the state level, the economics of RNG are enhanced by low-carbon fuel initiatives, particularly well-established programs in California, Washington and Oregon (with several other states also actively considering LCFS initiatives similar to those in California, Washington and Oregon). Federal and state regulatory developments could result in significant future changes to market demand for the RINs and LCFS credits we produce. This would have a corresponding impact to our revenue, net income, and cash flow.
Transportation, including heavy-duty trucking, generates approximately 30% of overall carbon dioxide and other climate-harming GHG emissions in the United States, and transitioning this sector to low and negative carbon fuels is a critical step towards reducing overall global GHG emissions. The adoption rate of RNG-powered vehicles by commercial transportation fleets will significantly impact demand for our products.
We are also exposed to the commodity prices of natural gas and diesel, which serve as alternative fuel for RNG and therefore impact the demand for RNG.
Renewable Power Markets
We also generate revenues from sales of Renewable Power generated by our biogas-to-Renewable Power projects, and associated RECs. RECs exist because of legal and governmental regulatory requirements in Europe and the United States, respectively, and a change in law or in governmental policies concerning Renewable Power, LFG, or RECs could affect the market for, and the pricing of, such power and credits.
We periodically evaluate opportunities to convert existing Renewable Power projects to RNG production. We have been negotiating with several of our landfill and Renewable Power counterparties to enter into arrangements that would enable the LFG resource to produce RNG. Changes in the price we receive for Renewable Power and associated RECs, together with the revenue opportunities and conversion costs associated with converting our LFG sites to RNG production, could have a significant impact on our future profitability.
Regulatory landscape
We operate in an industry that is subject to and currently benefits from environmental regulations. Government policies can increase demand for our products by providing incentives to purchase RNG and Environmental Attributes. These government policies are modified and in flux constantly and any adverse changes to these policies could have a material effect on the demand for our products. For more information, see the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, including the risk factor titled
"The financial performance of our business depends upon tax and other government incentives for the generation of RNG and Renewable Power, any of which could change at any time and such changes may negatively impact our growth strategy."
Government regulations have become increasingly stringent and complying with changes in regulations may result in significant additional operating expenses.
Seasonality
We experience seasonality in our results of operations. Sale of RNG may be impacted by higher consumption by some of our customers during summer months. Additionally, the price of RNG is higher during the fall and winter months due to increase in overall demand for natural gas during the winter months. Revenues generated from our renewable electricity projects in the northeast U.S., all of which sell electricity at market prices, are affected by warmer and colder weather, and
37
therefore a portion of our quarterly operating results and cash flows are affected by pricing changes due to regional temperatures. These seasonal variances are managed in part by certain off-take agreements at fixed prices.
Key Components of Our Results of Operations
We generate revenues from the sale of RNG fuel, Renewable Power, and associated Environmental Attributes, as well as from the construction, fuel supply, and servicing of Fueling Stations for commercial transportation vehicles using natural gas to power their fleets. These revenue sources are presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations under the following captions:
•

•
Renewable Power.
The Renewable Power segment generates renewable power and associated Environmental Attributes such as RECs through combustion of biogas from landfills which is then sold to public utilities throughout the United States.
Our costs of sales associated with each revenue category are as follows:
•
RNG Fuel.
Includes royalty payments to biogas site owners for the biogas we use; service provider costs; salaries and other indirect expenses related to the production process; utilities, transportation, storage, and insurance; and depreciation of production facilities.
•
Fuel Station Services.
Includes equipment supplier costs; service provider costs; and salaries and other indirect expenses.
•
Renewable Power.
Includes royalty payments; land usage costs; service provider costs; salaries and other indirect expenses related to the production process; utilities; and depreciation of production facilities.
Project development and start up costs includes certain development costs such as legal fees, consulting fees for joint venture structuring, royalties to the landfill owner, fines, settlements, site lease expenses and certification costs on our RNG projects under construction. Additionally, the Company also incurs certain expenses on new RNG projects during the first two years that such projects are operational, such as virtual pipeline costs (incurred until a physical interconnect pipeline is built) and ramp up costs incurred during the certification period.
Selling, general, and administrative expense consists of costs involving corporate overhead functions, including the cost of services provided to us by an affiliate, and marketing costs.
Depreciation and amortization primarily relate to depreciation associated with property, plant, and equipment and amortization of acquired intangibles arising from PPAs and interconnection contracts. We are in the process of expanding
38
our RNG and Renewable Power production capacity and expect depreciation costs to increase as new projects are placed into service.

Design Capacity for RNG facilities is measured as the volume of feedstock biogas that the facility is capable of accepting at the inlet and processing during the associated period. Design Capacity is presented as OPAL’s ownership share (i.e., net of joint venture partners’ ownership) of the facility and is calculated based on the number of days in the period. New facilities that come online during a quarter are pro-rated for the number of days in commercial operation.
(2)
Inlet Design Capacity Utilization is measured as the Volume of Inlet Gas for a period, divided by the total Design Capacity for such period. The Volume of Inlet Gas varies over time depending on, among other factors, (i) the quantity and quality of waste deposited at the landfill, (ii) waste management practices by the landfill, and (iii) the construction, operations and maintenance of the landfill gas collection system used to recover the landfill gas. The Design Capacity for
39
each facility will typically be correlated to the amount of landfill gas expected to be generated by the landfill during the term of the related gas rights agreement. The Company expects Inlet Design Capacity Utilization to be in the range of 75-85% on an aggregate basis over the next several years. Typically, newer facilities perform at the lower end of this range and demonstrate increasing utilization as they mature and the biogas resource increases at open landfills. Excludes Sunoma and Biotown.
(3)
Utilization of Inlet Gas is measured as RNG Fuel Volume Produced divided by the Volume of Inlet Gas. Utilization of Inlet Gas varies over time depending on availability and efficiency of the facility and the quality of landfill gas (i.e., concentrations of methane, oxygen, nitrogen, and other gases). The Company generally expects Utilization of Inlet Gas to be in the range of 80% to 90%. Excludes Sunoma and Biotown.

Design Capacity for Renewable Power facilities is the manufacturer’s expected capacity at ISO conditions for each facility and may not reflect actual production from the projects, which depends on many variables including, but not limited to, (i) quantity and quality of the biogas, (ii) operational up-time of the facility, including dispatch and maintenance downtime and (iii) actual efficiency of the facility.
(2)
Design Capacity Utilization for Renewable Power facilities is measured as Renewable Power Produced divided by Design Capacity for the period. Given (i) built-in un-utilized capacity from historical designs, (ii) availability (a function of higher maintenance requirements compared to RNG facilities) and (iii) commencement of operations of the Emerald RNG facility, which will result in low levels of dispatch for the Arbor Hills facility (which will operate on a standby basis but remain in the operating portfolio), the Company’s Design Capacity Utilization is expected to remain below 50%.

Reflects the Company’s ownership share of design capacity for projects that are not 100% owned by the Company (i.e., net of joint venture partners’ ownership). Design capacity is measured as the volume of feedstock biogas that the plant is capable of accepting at the inlet and processing and may not reflect actual production of RNG from the projects, which will depend on many variables including, but not limited to, (i) quantity and quality of the biogas, (ii) operational up-time of the facility and (iii) actual efficiency of the facility.
(2)
We record our ownership interests in these projects as equity method investments in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
(3)
This project has provisions that will adjust or “flip” the percentage of distributions to be made to us over time, typically triggered by achievement of hurdle rates that are calculated as internal rates of return on capital invested in the project.
(4)
Expected Commercial Operation Date (“COD”) for commencement of the RNG projects in construction is based on the Company’s estimate as of the date of this report. CODs are estimates and are subject to change as a result of, among other factors out of the Company’s control: (i) regulatory/permitting approval timing, (ii) disruption in supply chains and (iii) construction timing.
(5)
Please see Part II, Item 1: Legal Proceedings and Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies to the financial statements.

Nameplate capacity is the manufacturer’s expected capacity at ISO conditions for each facility and may not reflect actual production from the projects, which depends on many variables including, but not limited to, (i) quantity and quality of the biogas, (ii) operational up-time of the facility and (iii) actual productivity of the facility.
(2)
We have determined that some of our Renewable Power projects are currently RNG conversion candidates. The Company identifies suitable RNG conversion candidates based on highest return of capital which is driven by certain factors including, but not limited to (i) the quantity and quality of LFG, (ii) the proximity to pipeline interconnect and (iii) the ability to enter into contracts, including site leases and gas rights agreements, with host sites. The Company may change its decision to convert a Renewable Power Project into an RNG project in the future. The Company believes disclosing Renewable Power conversion candidates provides visibility into the effect of those conversions on the existing Renewable Power portfolio.
(3)
Although the RNG conversion is completed, it is currently contemplated that the Arbor Hills Renewable Power plant will continue limited operations on a stand-by, emergency basis through March of 2031.
(4)
Construction of the Fall River project has been delayed due to permitting issues.

RNG Fuel
Revenue from RNG Fuel increased by $5.7 million or 29% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by a $3.8 million increase in brown gas sales due to increase in price and a $1.7 million increase in the sale of environmental attributes. The increase in environmental attributes was related to $5.1 million increase in green gas sales, and $4.5 million increase from the Prince William and Polk facilities, which commenced operations in the second and fourth quarters of 2024, respectively. The increase was partially offset by a $5.3 million decline due to lower RIN prices and $2.5 million decrease in volume.
Revenue from RNG Fuel increased by $15.6 million, or 42%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by a $4.2 million increase in brown gas sales due to increase in price and an $11.2 million in the sale of environmental attributes. The increase in environmental attributes was related to $13.7 million increase from the new facilities, $1.9 million increase in RIN volume, and $5.1 million increase in RIN sales on production. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $9.3 million due to RIN price reduction.
Fuel Station Services
Revenue from Fuel Station Services increased by $7.8 million or 20%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. This is primarily due to a $7.0 million increase in RIN volume, a $2.9 million increase in RIN and LCFS minting services (new RNG facilities Prince William, Sapphire, and Polk),
44
$2.0 million in GGE volume, and $0.7 million in brown gas sales, partially offset by a $5.5 million decrease in third party RIN sales primarily due to lower prices.
Revenue from Fuel Station Services increased by $21.3 million, or 28%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This is primarily due to a $13.9 million increase in revenues from RIN and LCFS minting services (new RNG facilities Prince William, Sapphire, and Polk), a $8.9 million increase in RIN volume, and a $3.5 million increase in GGE volume and $0.9 million increase in GGE price, offset by a $5.4 million decrease in third party RIN sales due to lower price, and a $0.6 million decrease in third party sales of LCFSs due to the timing of inventory sales.
Renewable Power
Revenue from Renewable Power decreased by $3.9 million, or 32%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. This is primarily due to a $3.2 million loss of revenue resulting from the termination of the ISCC contract in the fourth quarter of 2024, related to the Pioneer, Old Dominion, and West Covina facilities.
Revenue from Renewable Power decreased by $6.9 million, or 31%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This is primarily due to a $6.2 million loss of revenue resulting from the termination of the ISCC contract in the fourth quarter of 2024, related to the Pioneer, Old Dominion, and West Covina facilities.
Cost of sales
RNG Fuel
Cost of sales from RNG Fuel increased by $3.1 million, or 37%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase is primarily attributable to $1.4 million increase from Prince William, which commenced operations in the second quarter of 2024, and a $2.2 million increase from Polk, which began operations in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was partially offset by a decline in volumes from Sunoma.
Cost of sales from RNG Fuel increased by $6.9 million, or 41%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase is primarily attributable to a $4.0 million increase from Prince William, which commenced operations in the second quarter of 2024, and a $3.2 million increase from Polk, which began operations in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Fuel Station Services
Cost of sales from Fuel Station Services increased by $7.8 million, or 25%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. This is primarily due to an increase of $4.0 million in FPA tolling expense, $1.7 million increase in dispensing fees due to higher credit sales, $1.1 million increase in construction cost and, $0.6 million increase in services and other costs.
Cost of sales from Fuel Station Services increased by $17.2 million, or 28%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This is primarily due to a increase of $13.8 million in dispensing fees,$5.5 million increase in FPA tolling expense, offset by decrease in expenditure of $2.1 million in equipment, parts construction and other costs, which are in line with the decrease in construction revenues.
Renewable Power
Cost of sales from Renewable Power decreased by $2.0 million, or 22%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. This is primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in royalties related to the corresponding decrease in ISCC revenues, and a $1.0 million decrease in expenses, which was primarily driven by the timing of major maintenance and other expenses.
Cost of sales from Renewable Power decreased by $4.5 million, or 25% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This is primarily due to a $2.2 million decrease in royalties related to corresponding decrease in ISCC revenues, and a $2.5 million decrease in expenses, which was primarily driven by the timing of major maintenance and other expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2025, our liquidity was $203.2 million, consisting of $138.4 million of unused capacity under our $450 million senior secured credit facility, $35.5 million of unused capacity under the associated revolver, and $29.3 million of cash and cash equivalents.
We expect that our available cash together with our other assets, expected cash flows from operations, and access to expected sources of capital will be sufficient to meet our existing commitments for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this report. Any reduction in demand for our products or our ability to manage our production facilities may result in lower cash flows from operations which may impact our ability to make investments and may require changes to our growth plan.
To fund future growth, we anticipate seeking additional capital through equity or debt financings. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of our project development efforts. We may be unable to obtain any such additional financing on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if capital is not available when, and in the amounts needed, we could be required to delay, scale back or abandon some or all of our development programs and other operations, which could materially harm our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.
47
As part of our operations, we have arrangements for office space for our corporate headquarters under the Administrative Services Agreement as well as operating leases for office space, warehouse space, and our vehicle fleet.
We intend to make payments under our various debt instruments when due and pursue opportunities for earlier repayment and/or refinancing if and when these opportunities arise.

OPAL Term Loan
On March 3, 2025, OPAL Fuels Intermediate HoldCo LLC, as the borrower (the “Borrower”), certain subsidiaries of the Borrower, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), the lenders and issuers of letters of credit party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as the administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) entered into that certain Amendment No. 1 to Credit and Guarantee Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”), with respect to that certain Credit and Guarantee Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated September 1, 2023, by and among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the financial institutions from time to time parties thereto as lenders and as issuers of letters of credit, and the other agents and persons from time to time party thereto (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time).
The Credit Agreement Amendment makes certain changes to the applicability of certain financial covenants and modifies other covenants to clarify the use of loan proceeds. Additionally, the Credit Agreement Amendment permits the organizational restructuring of the Guarantors in a manner designed to facilitate the sale of federal investment tax credits and the ability to raise additional future capital.
The Credit Agreement Amendment also eases the conditions precedent to making new Projects eligible for borrowing under the Credit Agreement, extends the availability period for delay draw term loans under the Credit Agreement through March 5, 2026, and extends the commencement of repayment of such term loans until March 31, 2026.
In connection with the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Borrower paid the Administrative Agent, for the account of each lender, a one-time nonrefundable fee of $1.25 million.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding loan balance (current and non-current) excluding deferred financing costs was $311.6 million and $286.6 million, respectively.
The Company has the ability, during the delayed draw availability period and subject to the satisfaction of certain credit and project-related conditions precedent, to join other newly acquired subsidiaries with comparable renewable projects in development under the credit facility for comparable funding. As of June 30, 2025, the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants under the OPAL Term Loan.
Sunoma Loan
On August 27, 2020, Sunoma, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a debt agreement (the "Sunoma Loan Agreement") with Live Oak Banking Company for an aggregate principal amount of $20 million. Sunoma paid $0.6 million in financing fees. The amounts outstanding under the Sunoma Loan are secured by the assets of Sunoma. On July 19, 2022, Sunoma completed the conversion of the construction loan into a permanent loan and increased the commitment from $20 to $23 million. The maturity date is July 19, 2033. The outstanding loans under the Sunoma Loan Agreement bear interest at an annual fixed rates of 7.8%, and 8.2% per annum during the term.
The Sunoma Loan Agreement contains certain financial covenants which require Sunoma to maintain (i) a maximum debt to net worth ratio not to exceed 5:1, (ii) a minimum current ratio not less than 1.0 and (iii) a minimum debt service coverage ratio of trailing four quarters not less than 1.25. As of December 31, 2024, Sunoma is in compliance with the financial covenants under the Sunoma Loan Agreement.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding loan balance (current and non-current) excluding deferred financing costs was $20.0 million and $20.8 million, respectively.

Redeemable Series A Preferred Units of OPAL Fuels LLC
48
In November 2021, NextEra subscribed for an aggregate of $100,000,000 of Series A preferred units issued by OPAL Fuels LLC, a consolidated subsidiary of OPAL Fuels, Inc. The Series A preferred units have limited rights to prevent OPAL Fuels LLC from taking certain actions including (i) major issuances of new debt or equity (ii) executing transactions with affiliates which are not at arm-length basis (iii) major disposition of assets and (iv) major acquisition of assets outside of OPAL Fuels LLC’s primary business. The Series A preferred units are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of 8% per annum. Dividends begin accruing for each unit from the date of issuance and are payable each quarter end regardless of whether they are declared. The dividends are mandatory and cumulative. The Company was allowed to elect to issue additional Series A preferred units ( paid-in-kind) in lieu of cash for the first eight dividend payment dates. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was no accrued preferred dividend payable.
At any time after issuance, OPAL Fuels LLC may redeem the Series A preferred units for a price equal to original issue price of $100 per unit plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Upon written notice from NextEra at any time after November 29, 2025, we would be required to redeem the Series A preferred units. In the event the Company does not redeem the Series A preferred units when requested, NextEra will have the following rights and remedies: (1) NextEra’s affiliate may extend the RNG Marketing Agreement by 12 months; or (2) the dividend rate would increase depending on the length of time the Series A preferred units remain unredeemed to up to 20% per annum, and if more than $25,000,000 preferred equity is outstanding for more than six months after November 29, 2025, NextEra may appoint a director to OPAL Fuel Inc.’s Board of Directors; or (3) NextEra may convert the Series A preferred equity into common equity of the OPAL Fuels LLC at a conversion price at a 20% to 30% discount to their value (the discount is 20% during the first 12 months after November 29, 2025, 25% for the next 12 months thereafter and 30% thereafter).

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $21.8 million, an increase of $7.6 million compared to $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
The increase was primarily attributable to higher net income driven by increased revenues, lower income from equity method investments, and higher non-cash items. These were partially offset by unfavorable changes in working capital and a decrease in distributions from equity method investments.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $36.0 million, a decrease of $18.1 million compared to the $54.1 million used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
This was primarily driven by a decrease in payments made for the construction of various RNG generation and dispensing facilities in 2025 compared to 2024, and an increase in distributions received from equity method investments, partially offset by higher contributions made to equity method investments and lower proceeds from the sale of short-term investments.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $18.5 million, an increase of $3.5 million compared to the net cash used in financing activities of $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
This was primarily driven by an increase in proceeds from long-term loans, a decrease in dividend payments on redeemable preferred non-controlling interests, and an increase related to the acquisition of a controlling interest. These were partially offset by long-term loan repayments and higher financing costs paid to third parties.

Capital expenditures and other cash commitments
We require cash to fund our capital expenditures, operating expenses and working capital and other requirements, including costs associated with fuel sales; outlays for the design and construction of new Fueling Stations and RNG production facilities; debt repayments and repurchases; maintenance of our electrification production facilities supporting our operations, including maintenance and improvements of our infrastructure; supporting our sales and marketing activities, including support of legislative and regulatory initiatives; any investments in other entities; any mergers or acquisitions, including acquisitions to expand our RNG production capacity; pursuing market expansion as opportunities arise, including geographically and to new customer markets; and to fund other activities or pursuits and for other general corporate purposes.
As of June 30, 2025, we anticipate spending of approximately $185.0 million in capital expenditures for the next 12 months for RNG projects, fuel stations and our share of contributions in our equity method investment projects. This includes projects which have not been fully committed. These expenditures do not include any expected contributions from our joint venture partners and primarily relate to our development and construction of new renewable energy facilities and the purchase of equipment used in our Fueling Station services and Renewable Power operations
.
In addition to the above, we also have lease commitments on our vehicle fleets and office leases and quarterly amortization payment obligations under various debt facilities. Please see Note 3.

We plan to fund these expenditures primarily through cash on hand, cash generated from operations and availability under existing debt facilities.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item because it is a “smaller reporting company.”
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer (our co-principal executive officers and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on that evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2025, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) was identified in the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings, lawsuits and claims incidental to the conduct of our business, some of which may be material. Our businesses are also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us.
We do not believe that the outcome of any of our current legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Central Valley Project
In September 2021, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, MD Digester, LLC (“MD”), entered into a fixed-price Engineering, Procurement and Construction Contract (an “EPC Contract”) with VEC Partners, Inc. d/b/a CEI Builders (“CEI”) for the design and construction of a turn-key renewable natural gas production facility using dairy cow manure as feedstock in California’s Central Valley. In December 2021, a second indirect subsidiary of the Company, VS Digester, LLC (“VS”) entered into a nearly identical EPC Contract (collectively, the "EPC Contracts") with CEI for the design and construction of a second facility, also in California’s Central Valley. CEI’s performance under both of the EPC Contracts is fully bonded by licensed sureties.
CEI submitted a series of change order requests seeking to increase the EPC Contract Price by approximately $14 million, per project, primarily due to: (1) modifications to CEI’s design drawings which are required to meet its contracted performance guaranties, and (2) a default by one of CEI’s major equipment manufacturers. The Company disputes the vast majority of the change order requests.
In January 2024, the Company filed a civil lawsuit captioned, MD Digester, LLC. et. al. vs. VEC Partners, Inc. et. al.; with the California Superior Court, County of San Joaquin; Action No. STK- CV-UCC-2024-0000185 and commenced a related arbitration proceeding in order to obtain a formal determination on the claims; AAA Case No. 01-24-0000-0775. The Superior Court Action has been stayed, pending the conclusion of the arbitration. In the meantime, the AAA has empaneled three experienced arbitrators and has set the hearing date for the matter, currently schedule in May 2026.
The EPC Agreement requires that CEI, continue working during the course of the litigation and related arbitration proceedings; however, CEI effectively stopped working. Between May and August 2024, MD issued a series of Notices of Default and Demands to Cure to CEI. CEI failed to cure, and on July 30, 2024, MD terminated CEI for default. MD notified CEI’s performance bond surety, Atlantic Specialty Insurance Company of the termination and demanded that it perform under the bond. Atlantic has denied the claim.
On July 11, 2024, VS issued a Notice of Default and Demand to Cure, advising CEI of its defaults and giving it an opportunity to cure. CEI failed to do so, and on August 27, 2024, VS terminated CEI for default. VS has notified CEI’s bond surety, also Atlantic, of the second termination and demanded that it perform under the performance bond. The surety has denied the claim.
As a result of CEI’s default and Atlantic’s denial of the claims, MD and VS have amended their claims in the AAA arbitration to include breach of contract claims against CEI and breach of performance bond claims against Atlantic (who was formally joined into the arbitration on November 20, 2024) in the AAA Arbitration with CEI.
CEI has since recorded mechanic’s liens against each of the projects for $4,900 (MD) and $2,000 (VS), and filed actions with the Stanislaus and San Joaquin County Superior Courts, respectively, to enforce their liens. MD and VS have since recorded bonds releasing the properties from the liens and it is expected that these claims will be stayed and consolidated with the pending arbitration proceeding.
In addition to the above-referenced action and arbitration, several of CEI’s subcontractors have recorded mechanic’s liens against the MD and VS projects, which the Company is obligated to defend and indemnify the dairy owners from and against. Several of liens were untimely and have been released.
The Company believes its claims against CEI (and the surety where bond claims are denied) have substantial merit, and intends to prosecute the claims vigorously. However, due to the incipient stage of the litigation and related arbitration, the recency of the termination, and the ongoing status of the proceedings and discussions with the bond surety, as well as the uncertainties involved in all litigation and arbitration, the Company is unable at this time to assess the likely outcome of the litigation and related arbitration, the timing of its resolution, or its ultimate impact, if any, on the Central Valley projects or the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
51
Former Development Partner/Construction Manager
In March 2024, the Company filed an action in the Orange County Superior Court (Case No. 30- 2024-01415510-CU-BC-CXC) against its former development partner and construction manager, Sierra Renewable Organics Management, LLC, as well as its principal (Ethan Werner) and affiliated engineering firm (CH Four Biogas) for Breach of Contract, Indemnity, Declaratory Relief, Intentional Misrepresentation and Negligent Misrepresentation relating to the design and development of the Projects. The case is not yet at issue, so no answer or cross claims have been filed yet, and no discovery has been conducted.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as described below, there have been no material changes from the “Risk Factors” previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2025, as supplemented by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The risks described in such reports are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
The financial performance of our business depends upon tax and other government incentives for the generation of RNG and Renewable Power, any of which could change at any time and such changes may negatively impact our growth strategy.
Our financial performance and growth strategy depend in part on governmental policies that support renewable generation and enhance the economic viability of owning Biogas Conversion Projects or Fueling Stations. These projects currently benefit from various federal, state and local governmental incentives such as investment tax credits, cash grants in lieu of investment tax credits, loan guarantees, Renewable Portfolio Standards (“RPS”) programs, modified accelerated cost-recovery system of depreciation and bonus depreciation. RNG specifically generates meaningful revenue through generation and monetization of Environmental Attributes provided for under several different programs, most commonly, RFS, LCFS and RPS.
Our provision for income taxes is subject to volatility and could be adversely affected by changes in tax laws or regulations, particularly changes in tax incentives in support of energy efficiency. The IRA contains extended and expanded clean energy tax credits such as ITCs, the Production Tax Credit ("PTC"), and created other financial incentives designed to promote the development of certain domestic clean energy projects. In order to receive the full value of such credits and incentives, our projects must satisfy a number of requirements including prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements. If we fail to comply with these requirements, the value of the credits may be limited, and we may become subject to financial penalties. Uncertainty remains under the IRA on which types of projects are eligible for the tax credits and incentives and how projects can demonstrate compliance with the requirements, we may not receive full value of the tax credits and incentives, which could increase our income tax expense, reduce our net income and adversely impact the profitability of our projects or our ability to finance our projects. The U.S. Congress may look to alter or repeal various energy tax incentives included in the IRA, which could potentially impact projects in development or future project economics. Similarly, recent presidential executive orders directing the review and potential termination of funds appropriated through the IRA are also creating uncertainty of whether these financial incentives could be reduced or repealed in the future. Further, we maybe subject to risks arising from any limitations on the value or availability of tax incentives that benefit clean energy or fuel production, sales, or projects, such as the Section 45Z clean fuel production credit, ITCs, and the PTC, as seen in the accelerated termination of certain clean energy tax credits under the “One Big Beautiful Bill” the U.S. President signed into law on July 4, 2025, which may result in the reduction of such producers’ economic returns.
On November 17, 2023, the Treasury and the IRS proposed regulations regarding ITCs on renewable energy projects where the IRS specified certain types of RNG equipment are ineligible for ITCs which could negatively impact the profitability of our RNG business and our ability to finance our RNG projects. On February 16, 2024, the Treasury and the IRS released a correction to the proposed regulations clarifying that certain of such equipment may be eligible for ITCs. These regulations are merely proposed, and the Treasury and the IRS are collecting and reviewing comments received regarding the proposed regulations. The proposed regulations also contain provisions that we believe create uncertainty relating to the ownership, installation or modification of equipment and property on which ITCs can be claimed. If the final regulations are enacted in a form that limits, in whole or in part, the amount of ITCs for certain of our construction costs, this would reduce the amount of ITCs available and thus could have a material adverse effect on our operations and our business.
There is also uncertainty if IRA incentives may be reduced or repealed in the future, especially in light of the 2024 election results. In addition, the timing of when assets are placed in service has in the past and could in the future impact
52
our tax rate. If we experience unexpected delays in this timing, we may not be able to take advantage of ITCs as expected. If we are not able to utilize the ITCs as expected this could have an adverse effect of our financial results.
Many states have adopted RPS programs mandating that a specified percentage of electricity sales come from eligible sources of renewable energy. However, the regulations that govern the RPS programs, including pricing incentives for renewable energy and reasonableness guidelines for pricing that increase valuation compared to conventional power (such as a projected value for carbon reduction or consideration of avoided integration costs), may change. If the RPS requirements are reduced or eliminated, it could lead to fewer future power contracts or lead to lower prices for the sale of power in future power contracts, which could have a material adverse effect on our future prospects. Such material adverse effects may result from decreased revenues, reduced economic returns on Biogas Conversion Projects and other potential future investments or joint ventures, increased financing costs, and/or difficulty obtaining financing.
If we are unable to utilize various federal, state and local governmental incentives to acquire additional Biogas Conversion Projects or Fueling Stations in the future, or the terms of such incentives are revised in a manner that is less favorable to us, we may suffer a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, we face similar risks with respect to the RFS program. Any future changes to, federal, state and local regulations and policies, including permitting requirements applicable to us, and enactment of new regulations and policies, may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the generation, purchase and use of Renewable Power and RNG, and may adversely affect the market for the associated Environmental Attributes. A failure on our part to comply with any laws, regulations or rules, applicable to us may adversely affect our business, investments and results of operations.

New RNG Joint Venture
On May 9, 2025, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into a limited liability company agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) with
a leading environmental solutions company (the "Counterparty"), establishing the terms and conditions of governance and
operation of a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”). The purpose of the Joint Venture, 70% of which is owned indirectly by the Company and 30% of which is owned by the Counterparty (together, the "Shares"), is to develop, construct, own and operate a facility (the “RNG Facility”) to produce RNG using biogas generated by a certain landfill.
The LLC Agreement governs the terms and conditions of capital contributions to be made by the Joint Venture members to fund the development, construction and operations of the RNG Facility. The LLC Agreement requires members of the Joint Venture to contribute their respective Shares of such capital requirements. The LLC Agreement contemplates that the RNG Facility will be located on a landfill owned by an affiliate of the Counterparty, with a nameplate capacity designed for approximately 5,500 scfm of landfill gas. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the LLC Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the LLC Agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
The LLC Agreement also provides for the Joint Venture to enter into an agreement with an affiliate of the Counterparty for the contractual rights to purchase landfill gas for the purpose of producing RNG at the RNG Facility (the “RNG Gas Rights Agreement”), as well as the site lease for the RNG Facility (the “RNG Site Lease”). The RNG Gas Rights Agreement and RNG Site Lease expire twenty (20) years from the date of commencement of operations of the RNG Facility. The existing gas rights agreement between an indirect subsidiary of the Company and an affiliate of the Counterparty (which relate to renewable electricity facilities) will terminate in accordance with the provisions of the RNG Gas Rights Agreement.
Further, the LLC Agreement contemplates that the Joint Venture will enter into a management services agreement (the “MSA”), an operations and maintenance agreement (the “O&M Agreement”), and an RNG marketing agreement (the "RNG Marketing Agreement") with certain wholly-owned, indirect subsidiaries of the Company. The MSA will establish terms and conditions for the day-to-day administration of the projects, including responsibility for managing the development and overseeing the construction of the RNG Facility. The O&M Agreement will establish the terms and conditions for operating and maintaining the RNG Facility once construction is completed. The RNG Marketing Agreement will provide for the acquisition, marketing and sale of the environmental attributes associated with RNG produced by the RNG Facility. The definitive terms and conditions of these agreements are not yet established and, accordingly, there is no guarantee that the Joint Venture will enter into each of these agreements.
This summary of the terms of the LLC Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the LLC Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
