PG&E Pipelines Transport RNG to California
Transportation Sector
Project Captures More Than 1.6 MMBtu of Dairy
Methane
Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) today joined with
Aemetis, Inc. to officially commission the interconnection of a new
Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) facility in Keyes, Calif. The
partnership between PG&E and Aemetis will enable transportation
of clean RNG to California transportation customers and capture
more than 1.6 MMBtu of dairy methane per year that would otherwise
be emitted into the atmosphere.
“We are proud to partner with Aemetis and California dairies to
deliver clean renewable natural gas to Californians. This project
is a key milestone in our goal to expand our renewable energy mix
within our gas supply and evolve our system to be a safe,
affordable, and reliable net zero energy delivery platform,” said
PG&E’s Senior Vice President, Gas Engineering Janisse
Quiñones.
At full build-out, a 40-mile gathering line will receive RNG
produced at the Aemetis Biogas Central Dairy Digester Project and
transport it through PG&E’s transmission pipeline system to
end-use customers. Currently, the RNG transported from this project
will directly support the transportation sector. The project
estimates that emissions captured from more than 60 contributing
dairies is equal to that of 1.1 million cars.
“Commissioning the biogas cleanup unit and interconnecting with
PG&E’s gas pipeline is a significant milestone for Aemetis,”
said Eric McAfee, Chairman and CEO of Aemetis. “Our ability to fuel
trucks with negative carbon intensity RNG will contribute to
California’s goal of carbon neutrality and will reduce
transportation air pollution created by diesel emissions.”
The Aemetis Biogas Central Dairy Digester Project marks
PG&E’s fourth RNG interconnection in the last six months. A
fifth RNG project is slated to come online by Dec. 2022, advancing
PG&E’s efforts to decarbonize the natural gas system and reduce
emissions as outlined in the recently released Climate Strategy
Report. The report details the company’s path to become net-zero on
greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, and “climate positive,” or going
beyond net zero emissions and actively removing more greenhouse
gases from the environment than it emits, by 2050.
