PG&E takes historic steps toward decarbonization with new RNG initiatives

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has reached a historic milestone in its commitment to decarbonize its natural gas system and expand on technologies that support the production of new, carbon-free and carbon-neutral energy resources. For the first time in the company's history, it has begun the process to purchase California-produced RNG for residential and small commercial customers. The company is also announcing a new biomass-to-RNG project. The initiative to purchase California-produced RNG for its natural gas customers is the first step in a plan to procure RNG to serve 15% of its residential and commercial demand by 2030. PG&E also continues to connect new California RNG production sites to its gas pipeline system and is planning to interconnect a new landfill-based RNG facility located in the Bay Area in early 2024. As of October 2023, PG&E has delivered more than 1.5 billion cubic feet of RNG to buyers within the transportation sector that fuel up at one of PG&E's 22 compressed natural gas facilities.

Accelerating the energy transition

Greenlane (TSX:GRN) is driving change: accelerating the energy transition to a net-zero emissions economy. We are cleaning up two of the largest and most difficult to decarbonize sectors of the global energy system: the natural gas grid and commercial transportation.

As a pioneer and leading specialist in biogas upgrading, we have been actively contributing to the decarbonization of our planet for over 35 years. The systems we provide transform biogas generated from organic waste into high-value grid-ready renewable natural gas (“RNG”).

Our systems produce clean, low-carbon and carbon-negative RNG from organic waste sources including agriculture (such as dairy and hog manure), water resource recovery facilities, food waste, landfills, and sugar mills. Greenlane is the only biogas upgrading company offering and actively deploying the three main upgrading technologies: waterwash, pressure swing adsorption, and membrane separation, plus proprietary biogas desulfurization technology. Greenlane has delivered over 140 biogas upgrading systems into 19 countries, including some of the largest RNG production facilities in the world.
