'Climate Positive’ by 2050: PG&E’s New Climate Strategy Report Outlines Targets and Milestones on Path to Net Zero Emissions and Beyond
Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) unveiled commitments to help reduce carbon emissions and reverse the impacts of climate change as part of its comprehensive Climate Strategy Report. The report outlines the company’s path to become “climate positive,” or going beyond net zero emissions and actively removing more greenhouse gases from the environment than it emits, by 2050.
PG&E plans to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, five years ahead of California’s current carbon neutrality target, and has detailed clear milestones it plans to meet by 2030 in reducing emissions, adopting renewable energy, investing in clean transportation infrastructure and transitioning its natural gas system.
