SoCalGas Sees Role for Gas Pipes in Carbon-Gree California (1)

摘要

Southern California Gas Co., a utility owned by Sempra Energy, said that deploying a clean-fuel network could save California $45 billion to $75 billion in its transition to becoming carbonneutralby 2045.The largest U.S. natural gas utility conducted an economy-wide study that shows how its pipelines could be used to meet California’s clean energy goals by delivering hydrogen and othercarbon-neutral fuels. The cost savings outlined in its model compares to not using hydrogen and other alternatives, the company said.The report is intended to offer a guide for how SoCalGas can itself transition toward carbon neutrality by 2045, a goal announced earlier this year, said Scott Drury, chief executive officerof the utility, in an interview.
