5/9/2019 Our role in a renewable future Maria Ventura Public Affairs Manager Southern California Gas Company Camarillo City Council Meeting May 8, 2019 California leads the nation in setting climate goals and policy Governing Law – SB100 Governing Law – SB1383 Executive Order B-55-18 By 2030, obtain By 2045, economy- By 2030, reduce wide, become methane emissions 60% 40% Carbon Neutral of electricity from renewable sources below 2013 levels 2 2 2 1
5/9/2019 Electrification as a one-track solution sounds simple 3 3 Natural Gas resolves solar and wind power’s intermittency issues Reliability isn’t only an issue during extreme events; it’s about keeping the lights on everyday, and every night. 4 4 2
5/9/2019 Power-to-gas converts excess renewable electricity into renewable natural gas excess hydrogen & carbon methane can be goes through which splits renewable combine through stored in the pipeline electrolysis the molecule energy methanization for future use carbon captured from factories and plants 5 Like electricity, natural gas can come from renewable sources 6 6 3
5/9/2019 Renewable natural gas CH 4 capture waste from dairies, convert into biogas using process the biogas to make it inject the biomethane into the farms and landfills anaerobic digestion pipeline-ready (biomethane) pipeline for future use Achieve 30% emissions Achieve the same GHG reductions When used as a reductions in the building as overhauling 100% of CA’s transportation fuel, RNG from sector by switching to buildings to all electricity with food and Green waste has a negative Carbon ~5% RNG ~16% RNG Intensity Navigant Consulting, “ Gas Strategies for a Low-Carbon California Future, ” 2018 7 7 Bioenergy Association of California, ” Decarbonizing The Gas Sector: Why California Needs A Renewable Gas Standard, ” 2014. We have a CLEAR FOCUS: Transportation 80% of the region’s SMOG Major Ozone (NOx) Emissions Sources Nearly 40% of its GHG emissions 8 4
5/9/2019 NGV Game Changer: NEW “NEAR-ZERO” TRUCK ENGINE IS READY FOR PRIME TIME • Heavy Duty truck engine with 90% lower NOx emissions TODAY • Tailpipe emissions are the same as emissions from generating electricity to run a similar electric truck • For Goods Movement, this truck will meet California’s ambitious 2050 targets decades before any other technology • RNG already delivering greatest GHG reductions from diesel TODAY Near-Zero Emissions Renewable Natural Gas as Transportation Fuel Natural Gas Engine > 80% GHG reduction <0.02 g NOx 90% NOx reduction The You shouldn’t have to choose between doing what’s right for the environment and what’s point good for the economy. And with a balanced energy approach, you don’t have to. 10 5
