SoCalGas Announces First Renewable Natural Gas Contract Approved Under California Program
Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) has announced via press release that it has executed a contract with Organic Energy Solutions (OES) to procure renewable natural gas (RNG) converted from organic waste and inject it into SoCalGas’ pipeline system. The contract is the first approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) under Senate Bill (SB) 1440, which sets specific RNG procurement targets for the state’s natural gas utilities.
The RNG will be sourced from a project located in the city of San Bernardino and is an important step toward achieving California’s goal to reduce methane emissions from agriculture and waste while advancing energy decarbonization in the state.
