Resource Professionals Group (RPG) is a consulting business with offices in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. RPG helps companies and communities improve their situations by sustainably using or building new markets for natural resources they manage or have access to.

Our goal is to help our clients save time and money by recommending integrated solutions that solve more than one problem at a time, with better outcomes and at lower cost.

Not only has RPG implemented systems that save money and increase energy efficiencies, but we have also organized tours for professionals and seen firsthand systems that work.

• Fuel availability and cost studies.
