1 Natural Gas Pathways: Towards a Clean and Renewable Energy Future for California External Affairs & Environmental Strategy Southern California Gas Company 2015

2 California s Dual Emissions Challenge Federal Clean Air Act and California Climate Change Initiative FEDERAL CLEAN AIR ACT Reduce SMOG by 75-80% before the next 20 years CA CLIMATE GOALS (AB32) GOVERNOR S EO: By 2050, reduce GHG emissions to 80% of 1990 Measures to Reduce Smog and GHG Emissions Drive Today s Energy and Environmental Agenda Natural Gas will Play an Increasing Role as a Solution

3 And, we have a CLEAR FOCUS THE TRANSPORTATION SECTOR Major Ozone (NOx) Emissions Sources in South Coast Air Basin 80% of the region s SMOG 40% of its GHG emissions

4 Start with the BIGGEST POLLUTERS Top NOx Source Categories SCAQMD NOx Heavy & Medium Duty Trucks Off Road Equipment Cars Light Duty Trucks Light-Heavy Duty Trucks Source: CARB Staff Report for 8-Hour Ozone State Implementation Plan Emission Inventory Submittal TONS PER DAY

5 NGV Game Changer New Near-Zero Truck Engine to be Ready for Prime Time SoCalGas working with agencies and engine manufacturers to deliver truck engine 90% lower emissions for 2018! Tailpipe emissions the same as emissions from generating electricity to run similar truck on electricity, years before heavyduty EV trucks ready for the market Near Zero Emission Natural Gas Engine <0.02 g NOx 5

6 Technology Transfer and Transportation Pathways SoCalGas Transportation Pathway focuses on natural gas vehicles in heavy duty sectors, which represent the largest share of both ozone/greenhouse gas problem. Technology transferrable to other sectors: Current Focus Expanding Focus Transit/Fleet Vehicles Heavy Duty Trucks Short/Long Haul Cargo Handling Equipment Locomotives Short/Long Haul Marine Vessels CNG LNG

7 Remaining Emissions Relative to 2010 Current State GHG Pathway -- Focused on Electrification Will Miss Ozone Deadlines 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% South Coast Air Quality Management District 2050 CARB Statewide GHG Target Reductions need to be achieved Faster & Sooner than current statewide GHG reduction goals 20% 10% 75 ppb ozone standard 80 ppb ozone standard 0% CA Statewide CO 2 South Coast Target NO x Reduction necessary to meet Federal Ozone Standards 7 Use of Natural Gas in Transportation Sector can help achieve ozone standard sooner

8 California Climate Change Policy Make Room for Near-Zero End Uses and Low Carbon Gas California focused on electrifying end uses and de-carbonizing electricity Electrify transportation Electrify energy end uses De-carbonize generation SoCalGas focused on near-zero end use technology and de-carbonizing the pipeline Near-zero NGV s Near-zero gas technology Decarbonize gas supply Hydrogen blending Renewable methane feedstocks It s NOT Either/Or. It IS Both/And!

9 The Natural Gas Pathway for Homes and Businesses: Source Efficiency

10 Natural Gas Energy Efficiency Means Cleaner Air Today Sources: California Air Resources Board, U.S. Energy Information Administration Residential and Commercial Natural Gas Customer Emissions in California Already below 1990 emissions levels

11 De-Carbonizing Electricity: Natural Gas Stationary Use Pathways The move toward nearzero emission technology focuses on: Distributed Generation Small-scale Generation Matched with Renewables Power Generation with Carbon Capture Not just Solar and Wind Fuel Cells Micro-turbines Combined Heat & Power

12 De-Carbonizing the Pipeline: Waste or Biomass To Hydrogen or Biomethane

13 De-Carbonizing the Pipeline: Electrolysis of Excess Renewable Electricity (Power-to-Gas)

14 Power-to-Gas Projects: Provides green hydrogen pathway and grid storage 2MW Power-to-Gas Demonstration Plant (Falkenhagen, Germany) First power-to-gas plant to inject hydrogen into the natural gas grid (August 2013) 30 projects launched in Europe to date Hydrogenics Plant (Stuttgart, Germany) Uses a PEM electrolyzer to produce H2 from water. Uses CO2 from biogas plant. Injects CH4 in pipeline system

15 German Energy Agency on Power-to-Gas: System Solution DENA Website (German Energy Agency) With the Power-to-Gas Strategy Platform, the Deutsche Energie-Agentur GmbH (dena) the German Energy Agency and its partners are supporting the use and development of the Powerto-Gas system solution. CAISO (on the Duck Curve ) steps must be taken to mitigate over generation risk. These steps include increasing exports and requiring renewable generation curtailment. The ability to export power depends on the needs of neighboring entities the resource mix would also benefit from resources with energy storage capabilities

16 E3 Study: Integration of New Low/Zero Carbon Options Expands upon 2012 Science article Pipeline de-carbonization works together with electrification towards Climate Change objectives Pipeline de-carbonization offers Cost Effective and Resilient Pathways De-carbonization can play an important role Integrating Variable Renewable Generation Resources Strategic use of gaseous fuels supports near- and long-term goals In nearer term, opportunities for efficiency, near zero technology and new uses for natural gas (transportation) In medium- to long-term, new lowcarbon sources of gas need development and introduction Pipeline de-carbonization reduces emissions in sectors that are otherwise difficult to electrify, including heavy duty vehicles; residential and commercial end uses, and industrial end uses Managing Energy Grid (gas and electric together) = efficiency and cost avoidance 16

17 SoCalGas Facilitating Cleaner Energy Options for Our Customers RD&D of cleaner, more efficient natural gas technologies, inc. P2G at UC Irvine. New State Natural Gas Utilization Policy Offering Compression Services to facilitate development of NGV market Offering Biogas Conditioning Services to facilitate development of renewable natural gas market Proposing Distributed Energy Services tariff to facilitate more efficient use of heat and power In the future, considering LNG and Hydrogen Production Services as energy economy moves to cleaner fuels

18 THANK YOU! External Affairs and Environmental Strategy 2015

20 Power-to-Gas Definition Wikipedia Power-to-gas (often abbreviated P2G) is a technology that converts electrical power to a gas fuel use electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen by means of electrolysis the resulting hydrogen is injected into the natural gas grid or is used in transport or industry combine the hydrogen with carbon dioxide and convert the two gases to methane (see natural gas) using a methanation reaction such as the Sabatier reaction the methane may then be fed into the natural gas grid Efficiency The power-to-gas methane method is to combine hydrogen from an electrolyzer with carbon dioxide and convert the two gases to methane 20

29 Studies Show Emissions Decline Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) Study of Natural Gas Systems First study on production shows emissions are in line with EPA estimates, but some differences in activity areas EDF identifying industry partners Measuring emissions from interstate pipeline systems Peer review draft: upper bound on local distribution emissions are 30% less than current EPA estimates Measuring emissions from medium and heavy duty truck and CNG/LNG fueling stations 29

30 STUDIES SHOW LOWER LEAK RATES for SoCalGas primarily due to system modernization and better leak detection 0.60% Leak Rate Comparison % 0.40% 0.52% Measured using 20+ year old GRI/EPA emission factors 0.30% 0.31% 2013 samples that generated new emission factors 0.20% 0.10% 0.12% 0.00% All U.S. Distribution SoCalGas Territory as Reported to ARB EDF LDC Study SoCalGas Engineering Analysis
