Public Affairs Manager Southern California Gas Company Camarillo City Council Meeting May 8, 2019 2

California leads the nation in setting

climate goals and policy

By 2030, obtain

60%

f electricity from

renewable sources

Governing Law – SB100

By 2045, economy- wide, become

Carbon Neutral

Executive Order B-55-18 2

By 2030, reduce methane emissions

40%

below 2013 levels

Governing Law – SB1383

5 excess renewable energy goes through electrolysis which splits the molecule hydrogen & carbon combine through methanization carbon captured from factories and plants methane can be stored in the pipeline for future use

Power-to-gas

converts excess renewable electricity into renewable natural gas

Like electricity, natural gas can come

from renewable sources

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

NGV Game Changer:

NEW “NEAR-ZERO” TRUCK ENGINE IS READY FOR PRIME TIME Renewable Natural Gas as Transportation Fuel

> 80% GHG reduction

Near-Zero Emissions Natural Gas Engine

<0.02 g NOx

90% NOx reduction

The point

You shouldn’t have to choose between doing what’s right for the environment and what’s good for the economy.

And with a balanced energy approach, you don’t have to.
