SoCalGas Now Dispensing California-Produced Renewable Natural Gas at its Vehicle Fueling Stations for the First Time
Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced it is for the first time dispensing California-produced renewable natural gas (RNG) at many of the natural gas fueling stations it operates across the state. The utility recently began purchasing RNG from Pixley-based Calgren Dairy Fuels (Calgren), which captures the greenhouse gas-producing manure from dairy farms and turns it into RNG, a renewable fuel. SoCalGas has dispensed 100% RNG from out-of-state sources at its fueling stations for a year. Calgren's facility is part of a rapidly growing biomethane industry in California and is currently the largest dairy biogas operation in the U.S.
Photos of the fueling stations and Calgren's dairy digester facility are available here. A video demonstrating RNG's ability to reduce California's transportation emissions is available here.
