Renewable gases cut emissions

and provides grid level storage

across sectorsRNG

• 80% of California’s methane emissions

come from our waste

• RNG prevents the emissions from going

into the atmosphere

• Less than 20% RNG = 100% building

electrification

• 2-3 times more cost effective

• Key to decarbonizing transportation,

industry, agriculture and buildings sectors

Green Hydrogen

• Addresses reliability

• Uses existing pipeline infrastructure

• Energy when and where people need it

• UCI: Increased use of renewable electricity from

3.5% to 35%

GermanyA cautionary tale

• Eliminated nuclear plants before having full

renewable capability

• Demand out of sync with supply:

• Had to use coal to deliver reliable power

during peak demand

• Overproduced wind/solar during periods

of low demand

• Germany’s emissions actually increased, while

paying Sweden to take excess wind/solar

• Germany will miss its 2020 targets

With vision, balance and flexibilitywe can achieve our

goals and preserve

choice, while

minimizing disruption
