SoCalGas Donates $25,000 to Local Non-Profit to Supply Food to Those in Need and Prevent Food Waste

LOS ANGELES, July 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced the company has donated $25,000 to local non-profit, LA Conservation Corps for the organization's Food Waste Prevention program. This program collects as much as 9,000 pounds of excess edible and inedible food from local restaurants, grocery stores and convenience stores per day. The edible food is then provided to MEND, a non-profit who distributes the edible food to families in need in the San Fernando Valley, serving over 33,000 individuals monthly. The inedible food is donated to local community gardens and in the future will also be given to LA Compost at Cottonwood Urban Farm in Panorama City and the Kroger distribution center's anerobic digestion facility in Compton, for clean energy generation. Please see photos of Corpsmembers picking up and delivering food items here. "The number of people experiencing food insecurity in Los Angeles has grown at an alarming rate due to the economic impacts of COVID-19," said Frank Lopez, senior governmental affairs manager at SoCalGas and board member at the LA Conservation Corps. "By providing LA Conservation Corps with this grant, we're able to enlist our youth to help us respond to the COVID-19 pandemic by feeding families in need and making use of food that would otherwise end up in a landfill." "We are so grateful to SoCalGas for helping us continue this vital program, especially now as more and more people in our communities are struggling with food insecurity," said Wendy Butts, CEO of the LA Conservation Corps. "I am incredibly proud of and inspired by the selfless manner in which our Corpsmembers and staff have answered the call to serve those in need since the start of the pandemic. We hope to continue to build innovative and meaningful partnerships like this to affect real change." Entering its second year of operation, LA Conservation Corps' Food Waste Prevention Program aims to provide a comprehensive prevention, recovery, and recycling solution to reduce food waste and increase food security for people in need. The program uses two refrigerated trucks, operated by two Corpsmembers to collect as much as 1,100-4,500 pounds of food per day from 30-40 donors, four days per week and delivers the food to local organizations who have a need. The Corps Food Waste Prevention Program helped to increase MEND's capacity by providing pick-up and delivery from additional donors thus increasing the number of people MEND is able to serve from 20,000 to 33,200 individuals per month. MEND food bank distributes the edible food to individuals in need in the Arleta, Lake View Terrace, Mission Hills, North Hills, Pacoima, Panorama City, San Fernando, and Sun Valley areas. In the future, the Corps plans to provide any excess inedible food to LA Compost at Cottonwood Urban Farm in Panorama City and the Kroger distribution center's anerobic digestion facility in Compton. Residents in San Fernando Valley neighborhoods such as, Porter Ranch and Sylmar, who are adjacent to the Sunshine Canyon Landfill, will benefit from the reduction in landfilled food waste and emissions from transportation to move food waste to the landfill. Composting at the Cottonwood Urban Farm benefits the residents of Panorama City and the Kroger distribution facility's anaerobic digester's production of clean energy benefits Compton residents. Since the program began in 2018, the LA Conservation Corps has been able to; divert nearly one million pounds of food waste from landfill rescue and distribute 787,500 pounds of edible food to those in need compost 14,043 pounds of inedible food between waste hauler and local community gardens Last year, SoCalGas donated more than $7.6 million to community organizations, local non-profits and other groups.

SoCalGas Named a 2019 Leader in Promoting Energy-Efficient Construction by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

LOS ANGELES, July 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced its recognition by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency with an ENERGY STAR Certified Homes Market Leader award for 2019. The award acknowledges SoCalGas' commitment to environmental protection and energy efficient construction. In the last five years, SoCalGas has provided over $8 million in incentives to residential builders for the construction of environmentally-friendly, energy efficient homes. SoCalGas account representatives support builders throughout the construction process and provide each builder with an incentive check upon completion of the project. The award comes as a result of the California ENERGY STAR New Homes Program Marketing Support Bonus SoCalGas offers as part of its California Advanced Homes Program (CAHP). The company also received the ENERGY STAR award in 2015, 2017 and 2018. "Since 2017, we have been the only investor-owned utility in California to offer the ENERGY STAR bonus as part of our California Advanced Homes Program and are thrilled to receive this award yet again," said Brian Prusnek, director of customer programs and assistance at SoCalGas. "Not only does this award signify our commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficient construction, it also demonstrates SoCalGas' commitment to our vision to be the cleanest gas utility in North America." "The ENERGY STAR program proudly recognizes the efforts of our outstanding partners who have made important contributions to energy-efficient construction and environmental protection. Our 2020 Market Leader Award winners demonstrate a high level of commitment to making ENERGY STAR certified homes and apartments available to American consumers. EPA proudly recognizes SoCalGas' efforts as an ENERGY STAR partner," said Jonathan Passe, chief of the ENERGY STAR Residential Branch at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. "On behalf of the Building Industry Association of Southern California, I would like to congratulate SoCalGas on its 2020 Energy Star Market Leader Award," said Craig Foster, Executive Vice President at the Building Industry Association of Southern California (BIASC). "SoCalGas has always been a true partner to builders throughout Southern California. In addition to very generous energy efficiency incentives, the green building expertise and level of service provided by the SoCalGas Account Representatives is outstanding. These folks support our builder members every step on the way, from the early design stage through final inspection and delivery of the builder's incentive checks." SoCalGas saved customers $65.4 million in 2019 on their annual gas bills through SoCalGas' energy efficiency programs. The energy savings is equivalent to removing nearly 293,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions and taking more than 63,000 cars off California roads for one year. SoCalGas continues to be a leader in researching and developing new technologies that improve energy efficiency and protect the environment. Between 2015 and 2019, SoCalGas energy efficiency programs delivered more than 208 million therms in energy savings, enough natural gas usage for 127,000 households a year, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) by over 1,100,000 metric tons, the equivalent of removing nearly 238,000 cars from the road annually.

We did not record an income tax benefit for the equity losses from our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities LLP because, even though a portion of the liabilities may be deductible under United Kingdom tax law, it is not probable that the deduction will reduce United Kingdom taxes. (2) Weighted-average common shares outstanding does not include the dilutive effect of mandatory convertible preferred stock as they are assumed to be antidilutive for full-year 2020.If such mandatory convertible preferred stock were dilutive for the full year, the 2020 GAAP EPS Guidance Range will differ from the range presented above.

SoCalGas, PG&E and Opus 12 Announce Advancements in Technology that Converts Carbon Dioxide to Renewable Natural Gas

LOS ANGELES, June 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas), Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), and Opus 12 today announced they have demonstrated further advancement of a new electrochemical technology that converts the carbon dioxide content in raw biogas to pipeline-quality renewable natural gas, a critical improvement in the science of upgrading waste emissions to renewable gas. The single-step process is designed to use renewable electricity, and thus also provides a way for long-term storage of excess wind and solar power. The twelve-month research and development effort was funded by SoCalGas and PG&E and builds on the success of an initial feasibility study in 2018. Raw biogas is produced from the anaerobic breakdown of waste from sources like landfills, sewage, and dairy farms. It contains roughly 60 percent methane (the main component of natural gas), and 40 percent carbon dioxide. While current biogas upgrading technology removes the carbon dioxide from biogas, this new technology captures the carbon dioxide and converts it into additional renewable fuel. The new demonstration shows that improved catalyst activity could speed reactions by five times and nearly double conversion efficiency, making the technology commercially competitive with other new biogas upgrading methods. The core technology was scaled up and tested using commercially available electrolyzer hardware. The next step will be to test this technology for longer periods at an existing biogas facility. "This cutting-edge method of using renewable electricity to convert carbon dioxide in biogas to renewable natural gas in a single-step process is significant to SoCalGas," said Yuri Freedman, SoCalGas' senior director of business development. "As we work to meet California's ambitious climate goals, emissions-reducing innovations like these will help us protect the environment by providing a reliable carbon-neutral fuel." "PG&E is deeply committed to meeting California's bold vision for a sustainable energy future in a reliable and cost-effective manner for customers. We continue to work toward advancing innovation that provides new possibilities in our quest to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and find alternative sources of carbon-neutral fuel. We are very proud to be part of this collaboration with Opus 12 and SoCalGas," said PG&E's Manager of Innovation and Research and Development, Francois Rongere. "We achieved significant advances in reaction rate and demonstrated the scalability of our approach by moving from lab scale to commercial-grade components," said Dr. Etosha Cave, Opus 12 co-founder and chief science officer. "We look forward to continuing to work with our partners at SoCalGas and PG&E toward a field demonstration of this technology." "Our vision for deploying this technology in California is to recycle CO 2 emissions from industry and agriculture before they reach the air, and create valuable products such as renewable natural gas and feedstocks for everyday materials, chemicals, and even liquid fuels. They are compatible with existing infrastructure, and when produced with renewable electricity, these products will have significantly lower lifecycle emissions than conventional products." Opus 12, a clean-energy startup with its origins at Stanford University and the prestigious Cyclotron Road program at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, has created a new proprietary Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer that uses electricity to convert water and carbon dioxide into renewable natural gas in one step. The technology differs from those that use microorganisms. The research is part of SoCalGas' and PG&E's respective development of cutting-edge technologies for storing excess renewable energy. Because gases can be easily stored for long periods of time using existing infrastructure, these technologies have distinct advantages over storing renewable electricity in batteries.
