How We Prepared for Hurricane Season in the Gulf Coast Region

Across Sempra’s family of companies, world-class safety for our communities and employees is paramount. During this hurricane season we remain focused on finding new and innovative ways to further our safety-first culture and maintain resilient operations. Prioritizing Safety Our teams in Louisiana and Texas continue to examine protocols, collaborate and innovate to advance safety practices. Although natural disasters can bring unexpected challenges, we invest in the expertise and knowledge to make decisions and plans based on data, science and past experiences. From managing facility design, to protecting our employees, to aligning with community leaders on emergency response plans – we prioritize safety across our businesses and communities. Insights from 2020 Last year’s hurricane season tested our emergency response plans and the team’s resiliency. Facing simultaneous category 4 storms and a worldwide pandemic, our employees upheld our safety-first mindset and our facilities proved durable against the elements. We also worked closely with the tight-knit liquefied natural gas (LNG) communities that share the Louisiana-Texas border. In our communities, Sempra donated $100,000 to small business and resident relief efforts, while the Sempra Foundation contributed $500,000 toward community recovery. As we continue driving resilient operations, informed by our experience from 2020, safety remains foundational.

SoCalGas Aims to Advance Transformative Hydrogen Technologies via U.S. Department of Energy Hydrogen "Earthshot" RFI

LOS ANGELES, July 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced several of its research and development initiatives designed to enable low-cost, clean hydrogen have been submitted to the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) "Earthshot" Hydrogen Program's Request for Information (RFI). The submissions are intended to help DOE's Hydrogen Program prioritize projects that would accelerate clean hydrogen innovations that could reduce emissions, create jobs, and facilitate a net-zero carbon emissions economy by 2050. SoCalGas is working with multiple collaborators on these initiatives, including the University of California Irvine, University of California Los Angeles, and the Green Hydrogen Coalition, among others. "Green hydrogen is a renewable energy source that can be ready-to-go whenever it's needed for power generation, manufacturing, or transportation," said Maryam Brown, SoCalGas President. "We believe this flexible, storable fuel will be essential to achieving net-zero emissions in California, and that is why we are working collaboratively with these partners to advance these important hydrogen projects." SoCalGas recently announced its commitment to the goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions in its operations and delivery of energy by 2045. In doing so, SoCalGas became the largest gas distribution utility in the nation to include scopes 1, 2, and 3 emissions in its target, aligning with the Paris Agreement's recommendations to limit global warming to 1.5°C by achieving net zero by mid-century. The programs submitted to the DOE request include: HyDeal LA: An initiative to architect the green hydrogen ecosystem to achieve at-scale procurement of green hydrogen at $1.50/kg in the Los Angeles basin by 2030. HyDeal LA is a collaboration of green hydrogen offtakers, developers, integrators, equipment manufacturers, investors, environmental groups, and other advisors coalescing to overcome the biggest barrier to the green hydrogen economy–its high cost–by aiming to launch North America's first green hydrogen hub at scale. HyDeal LA is targeting the inclusion of power plants, industrial applications, hydrogen transportation, and ultimately, global export of green hydrogen from the ports. Renewable Hydrogen Ecosystem: A project at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) that will be designed to use hydrogen made from solar and wind energy to create a zero-emissions energy system on the UCI campus. If successful, this project would demonstrate a scalable solution that could be replicated by urban communities around the world to achieve zero emissions. Direct Solar Methane Conversion: A new technology developed by researchers at the University of California Los Angeles ( UCLA) that uses solar energy to separate the carbon and hydrogen atoms in natural gas with zero or negative emissions, creating hydrogen and capturing carbon in solid form, which can be used in high value energy technology applications when commercialized. "The Western United States has abundant renewable resources necessary to make globally-competitive low-cost green hydrogen," said Janice Lin, President and Founder of the Green Hydrogen Coalition. "By working to simultaneously aggregate multi-sectoral demand, scale production, and design the needed infrastructure for transport and storage, HyDeal LA aims to make use of these renewable resources to produce and deliver green hydrogen at scale to accelerate multi-sectoral decarbonization in power plants, transportation, and as a feedstock for industrial customers. HyDeal LA represents an opportunity for the U.S. Department of Energy to promote the development of domestic green hydrogen hubs and establish the U.S. as a leader for this vast new emerging energy export opportunity." "By using solar energy converted to hydrogen, we aim to create a 100% zero-carbon energy system on the UC Irvine campus," said Jack Brouwer, director of UCI's National Fuel Cell Research Center as well as its Advanced Power and Energy Program. "When deployed, the system we're proposing could be replicable at other universities, industrial campuses, large apartment complexes, military bases, and other multi–megawatt microgrids across the nation." "The new clean hydrogen production technology developed by UCLA researchers represents a disruptive breakthrough," said Tim Fisher, Professor and Chair of UCLA's Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department. "When commercialized, this technology could drive the U.S. as a leader in zero carbon technology development, domestic jobs growth, and the production of clean hydrogen at very low-cost." In its RFI, the DOE notes that hydrogen "enables innovations in energy production and end uses that can help decarbonize some of the most emissions-intensive sectors of our economy: transportation, electricity generation, and industrial applications, including chemicals production. Additional decarbonization opportunities exist for low-carbon hydrogen such as for combined heat and power (CHP) in building applications and through blending with natural gas."

bp To Deliver Its First Carbon Offset LNG Cargo To Sempra's Energía Costa Azul Receiving Terminal In Mexico

SAN DIEGO, July 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- bpGM, Sempra LNG and Infraestructura Energética Nova, S.A.B. de C.V. (IEnova), today announced that they have entered into a contract for the delivery and receipt of the companies' first carbon offset liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo. The cargo is expected to be delivered to the Energía Costa Azul (ECA) terminal in Mexico on July 16, 2021, and it will be sourced from bp's global LNG portfolio. Global demand for natural gas and LNG is expected to continue to grow. IEnova and Sempra LNG each intend to continue supporting this growth by diversifying their offerings, including developing bundled carbon offset LNG products to help meet customers' demand. Justin Bird, CEO of Sempra LNG said: "We are excited to advance our goal to lower GHG emission intensity at our LNG facilities. Sempra LNG continues to build a strong business portfolio focused on sustainability and the global energy transition." Carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions associated with the LNG cargo, from wellhead to discharge terminal, will be estimated using bp's GHG quantification methodology for LNG. The methodology has been developed following relevant international standards and may be updated from time to time. These estimated emissions will be offset by retiring a corresponding amount of carbon credits, sourced from a Mexican afforestation project from bp's vetted portfolio of offsets on behalf of Sempra LNG. Carol Howle, EVP of trading & shipping at bp said: "Natural gas has a key role to play in getting the world to net zero. This new offer further demonstrates our determination to remain one of the world's leading and most innovative LNG suppliers. The development and continuous improvement of a clear and reliable methodology for quantifying the carbon intensity of our LNG supply chain is an important step in helping our customers deliver their sustainability goals and supports our ambition to help the world get to net zero." Sharon Weintraub, SVP, gas and power trading international at bp said: "Delivering carbon offset LNG is an important part of meeting growing global energy demand. For bp, this is part of continuing to meet growing customer demands for new energy solutions that will amplify value for our business. For customers, this means access to exciting initiatives that can help them in pursuing their sustainability strategies by quantifying the carbon intensity associated with the LNG supply from bp's diverse portfolio of LNG sources and then offsetting those emissions." More widely, bp has set out specific GHG reductions and other aims for 2030 in support of its ambition to be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner and to help the world get to net zero. bp does not intend to rely on carbon credits to meet its 2030 aims. Tania Ortiz, CEO of IEnova added: "We are pleased to work with Sempra LNG to help deliver the much-needed natural gas to customers in Mexico in a sustainable manner. We are always looking for new ways we can create value not only through the safe and responsible operation of our facilities, but also by contributing toward the energy transition." Sempra LNG and IEnova are currently constructing liquefaction facilities that will be located adjacent to ECA. Although this carbon off-set LNG cargo is from bp's global LNG portfolio, ECA will continue to serve the needs of its existing customers, including from the receipt of multiple LNG cargoes each year pursuant to a long-term sales and purchase agreement between bp and its partners in Tangguh LNG and Sempra LNG. Sempra LNG has established a goal to operate its existing LNG infrastructure at a GHG emissions intensity 20% less than its 2020 baseline and expects to establish additional goals by 2025, as the company continues to grow and bring more projects online.

Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Martin Named Director of the Year

This week, Sempra’s Chairman and CEO Jeffrey W. Martin was named Director of the Year by the Corporate Directors Forum for “Economic Value Creation.” Since being named Chairman and CEO in 2018, Martin is credited with transforming Sempra by updating the company’s investment strategy to focus on the growing importance of energy infrastructure in North America. “It is an honor to be recognized by the Corporate Directors Forum. In large measure, this award is a tribute to the overall strength of Sempra’s board of directors and their abiding focus on sound governance and long-term value creation,” said Martin. “At Sempra, we expect the economies of North America to become increasingly interdependent. Our company is uniquely positioned to build critical new energy infrastructure that is needed to support further market integration and a more rapid transition to cleaner forms of energy.” In 2018, Martin laid out a strategic plan to realign the company’s business activities around a bold new mission to build North America’s premier energy infrastructure company. Martin guided the divestment of Sempra’s non-core assets over a two-year period, while reinvesting proceeds into key growth markets — California, Texas, Mexico — and the liquefied natural gas (LNG) export market. By allocating capital investments into high quality transmission and distribution infrastructure, it has allowed the company to significantly improve its financial performance, while also improving the company’s market capitalization by over $17 billion since early in 2018. Additionally, Martin has spearheaded the development of new programs and initiatives to build a high-performance culture with a focus on operational safety, employee recognition, leadership development and diversity and inclusion. Due to his strategic vision, strong leadership and sharp focus on advancing a purpose-driven culture at Sempra, Martin was named Chief Executive of the Year by S&P Global Platts at its 22nd Annual Global Energy Awards in 2020. Delivering Long-Term Sustainable Value Sempra’s approach to managing its business is directly aligned with the value proposition of creating long-term sustainable value for shareholders, customers, employees and other stakeholders. Aligned with its commitment to innovation and sustainability, the company’s business strategy includes strong climate-related goals with a view toward accelerating North America’s transition to lower carbon energy systems. For two decades, the Sempra family of companies has been on a sustained path to decarbonize its business operations. About Corporate Directors Forum Corporate Directors Forum was founded in 1991 with the premise that boards of directors could perform better.

Global Challenges Require Multinational Solutions

By Jeffrey Martin, Chairman and CEO of Sempra, and H.R. McMaster, Former U.S. National Security Advisor, Ret. Lt. General, United States Army and Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. This opinion piece initially appeared in Eurogas’ newsletter on June 17, 2021. More than a year after a pandemic brought global economies to a halt, many communities around the world are still reeling. Today, we are facing two formidable challenges: a post-COVID recovery and a climate crisis. Both require international cooperation and the acceleration to cleaner, affordable and reliable energy systems. With the United States re-joining the Paris Agreement, expanding cooperation between the U.S. and Europe holds renewed promise for greater alignment with other regions of the world as well as critical new innovations in the production, transportation and consumption of energy. But the Paris Agreement is just the start. Addressing the interconnected global challenges of reducing carbon emissions, ensuring access to clean energy, and improving food and water security will require a collaborative, systemic and holistic approach. Addressing one challenge at a time can exacerbate others and perpetuate rather than prevent the dangers of climate change. The priority action that has broad political and commercial appeal not only in prosperous nations, but also in developing economies, is to produce more energy for more people with lower carbon content. The development of cleaner and affordable energy overcomes one of the most fundamental flaws with climate proposals: single-country solutions. The International Energy Agency (IEA) concluded in its 2021 World Energy Outlook that unilateral approaches will not work. “In the absence of greater international cooperation, it will take several decades longer to reach net-zero emissions globally,” said IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol. Indeed, in the absence of commercially viable solutions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, China, India and other developing economies experienced a 1.5 percent increase in emissions per year in the four years following the signing of the Paris Agreement. Lowering Emissions, Fueling Growth There is another path forward. The U.S., which has long recognized that energy security is vital to national security, offers a case study on how to lower carbon emissions while fueling economic growth. The IEA’s 2020 World Energy Outlook noted that the U.S. led the world in the largest reduction of man-made GHG emissions over the last 20 years (down almost 1 gigaton from a 2000 peak). Expanding investments in renewable power generation while using abundant natural gas (with its lower emissions footprint) precipitated a dramatic decline in coal’s share of U.S. electricity generation. In just 12 years, coal-fired power generation went from providing nearly half of America’s energy to less than 22 percent. Even more remarkable is that these reductions took place at the same time as significant economic expansion and rising energy demand. By diversifying its energy supply to include lower- and zero-carbon fuels, the U.S. was able to ramp up electricity generation to support a doubling of its GDP while effectively lowering man-made emissions. Other countries can replicate that success. The impact of displacing coal was made even more clear in the recent Group of Seven (G7) call to halt all government support for the use of coal in power production. Committing to Energy Diversification The European Union’s (EU) commitment to energy diversification has yielded similar achievements. As the biggest importer of natural gas in the world, the EU has been a leader in the development of liquefied natural gas (LNG), its associated infrastructure and the creation of liquid and transparent natural gas markets. A recent S&P Global Platts story noted how Europe is steadily cementing a key leadership role in the global LNG trade: “Today, when talking about the future of European gas supply, LNG is firmly viewed as a core part of the supply stack; critical to meeting long-term demand,” the article said. No longer dependent on a few dominant suppliers, diversification of the EU’s natural gas supplies and a notable uptick in U.S. LNG imports has also supported market competitiveness and set the stage for maximizing further renewable penetration. Investing in the Future Over the next two decades, the greatest challenge lies outside the U.S. and EU. The IEA projects that emerging and developing economies, including China, will account for 90 percent of the growth in global GHG emissions. This projection highlights why access to affordable and diverse energy supplies is essential to reduce carbon emissions while supporting stable and prosperous economies. The growth of affordable renewable energy in these markets will help but ultimately only meet about 28 percent of the world’s total energy demand by 2050. Moreover, for countries with waning natural gas production, LNG offers an important way to continue expanding renewable energy. The U.S. and EU are poised to achieve quick wins for the climate by displacing coal and oil with natural gas not just in power grids, but also in manufacturing and other hard-to-decarbonize sectors. Smart, new infrastructure investments that enable these GHG reductions today will also propel tomorrow’s energy technologies. On the horizon is a hydrogen economy that can be powered with cleaner molecules as emerging technologies come online. This is the decisive decade for tackling climate change, and we are optimistic. Just as the rapid development of vaccines was foundational to overcoming the global pandemic, clean and adoptable energy solutions are essential to attacking the threat from climate change, while also overcoming other interconnected challenges to global security and prosperity. In conclusion, it is not a Hobson’s choice between economic growth and sustainable initiatives to mitigate climate change. Leadership and international cooperation with the right priorities can advance energy security, economic prosperity and environmental progress.

SoCalGas' H2 Hydrogen Home Named a Fast Company 2021 World-Changing Idea

LOS ANGELES, June 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) and its H2 Hydrogen Home have been named one of Fast Company's World-Changing Ideas in the North America category. The award honors products, concepts, companies, policies, and designs that are pursuing innovation for the good of society and the planet. Entries are judged on impact, design, scalability, and ingenuity. SoCalGas' H2 Hydrogen Home is the first project of its kind in the U.S. aiming to show how carbon-free gas made from renewable electricity can be used in pure form or as a blend to fuel clean energy systems of the future. SoCalGas' H2 Hydrogen Home and 17 other projects were selected among thousands of submissions considered for the honor by Fast Company. "Our H2 Hydrogen Home demonstrates the important role of hydrogen in helping the state achieve its carbon neutrality goals," said Scott Drury, SoCalGas CEO. "As we lean into our mission to build the cleanest, safest, and most innovative energy company in America, we are proud that Fast Company agrees this project is a world-changing idea." "Innovative projects like SoCalGas' H2 Hydrogen Home help demonstrate how hydrogen can play an important role in California's clean energy future," said Sen. Bob Archuleta (D- Pico Rivera). "We congratulate SoCalGas for this recognition." The H2 Hydrogen Home, which will be built later this year in the city of Downey, is the first fully integrated demonstration project with solar panels, a battery, and electrolyzer to convert solar energy to hydrogen and a fuel cell to supply electricity for the home. Hydrogen will also be blended with natural gas and used in the home's heat pump HVAC unit, water heater, clothes dryer, and gas stove. The home will function and feel exactly like a regular home but use reliable and clean energy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Sempra Energy and National Renewable Energy Laboratory Collaborate to Advance Future Net-Zero Energy Systems

SAN DIEGO, June 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE) today announced it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), providing a framework for a joint effort to advance future net-zero energy systems. The MOU, which builds off nearly 10 years of ongoing collaboration, will continue current work researching and developing innovative solutions to help shape a lower-carbon future through technology and applications capable of withstanding increasing energy demand and broad adoption while advancing future innovation. "To achieve global carbon-neutrality, energy systems will need to transform dramatically over the coming decades. Our partnership with NREL drives forward a vision to advance the energy systems of the future by focusing on innovation and resiliency," said Lisa Alexander, senior vice president of corporate affairs and chief sustainability officer for Sempra Energy. "New investment and innovative partnerships are critical to developing solutions that will manifest a global energy transition while promoting economic growth and prosperity." "Building on our strong history of collaboration, we are excited to accelerate our work with Sempra to advance clean energy solutions," said Doug Arent, executive director for strategic public-private partnerships at NREL. "Researching key synergies across power, low carbon fuels and industrial sectors are expected to provide critical innovations toward realizing a low carbon, equitable, affordable, secure and reliable energy economy." Sempra Energy and NREL have been collaborating for nearly a decade on cooperative and multi-year projects exploring the development, access and integration of low-carbon fuels and microgrid technology. In 2013, Sempra Energy's subsidiary San Diego Gas & Electric Co. (SDG&E) and NREL joined to establish the nation's first utility-owned community microgrid in Borrego Springs, Calif., connected to a local 26-megawatt solar field (owned by a third party), two battery storage systems, two generators, and an ultracapacitor. The microgrid, which is being upgraded so that it can operate on 100% clean energy, was designed to provide consistent power flowing to the remote desert town during emergencies and planned outages on the larger grid. In 2017, Sempra Energy's subsidiary Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) and NREL partnered to create, validate and integrate the nation's first carbon-free, power-to-gas pilot-system. The technology takes excess electricity and converts it to hydrogen, which can be used, stored, or combined with carbon dioxide and fed to a bioreactor to produce renewable natural gas (RNG). This innovative technology could provide North America with a large-scale, cost-effective solution for storing excess energy produced from renewable sources. Additionally, Sempra Energy and NREL have coordinated efforts to research the impacts of hydrogen blending in natural gas networks, and studied potential pathways for wholesale market access to hydrogen production facilities. Under the MOU, which is not legally binding but sets forth a framework for cooperation, Sempra Energy and NREL will coordinate and share objectives focused on: Advancing artificial intelligence to scale solutions across the U.S. and enable cities to reach clean energy goals; Integrating low-carbon fuel solutions, including hydrogen, renewable natural gas, carbon capture, utilization and sequestration, and fuel cells; Exploring innovative solutions towards 100% renewable energy communities, requiring and implementing smart and enhanced controls, integration and operational capabilities as a blueprint for expansion; Enhancing electric grids with technology that upgrades the infrastructure with a focus on reliability, connectivity and security; and Promoting viable net-zero solutions that are delivered with equity and widespread community access. In its current work, Sempra Energy and its operating companies, including SoCalGas and SDG&E, are also exploring the decarbonization of regional and industrial hubs, or industrial clusters, to mitigate carbon emissions from industrial processes – such as manufacturing, steel and chemicals – that cannot be electrified. The companies, in partnership with NREL and the U.S. Department of Energy, are researching integrated solutions that may enable these sectors to achieve significant emissions reductions, while maintaining productivity, creating jobs, and fostering healthier communities. Sempra Energy looks forward to working with NREL to help decarbonize industries, homes and energy and transportation systems, while continuing to deliver resilient, reliable and sustainable energy in every market it serves and to consumers around the world.
