SoCalGas Achieves Important Milestone in Advancing Proposed Angeles Link Green Hydrogen Infrastructure System

California Regulator Determines: Angeles Link, "has the potential to decarbonize the state's and the Los Angeles Basin's energy use." "Public interest is served if SoCalGas begins conducting a feasibility study of the Project immediately." SoCalGas to join members of the Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES) in support of the State of California's application for historic federal funds to support regional hydrogen hubs LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has approved Southern California Gas Co.'s (SoCalGas') request to track costs for advancing the first phase of Angeles Link, a proposed green hydrogen pipeline system that could deliver clean, reliable, renewable energy to the Los Angeles region. As envisioned, Angeles Link could be the nation's largest green hydrogen pipeline system and support significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions from electric generation, industrial processes, heavy-duty trucks, and other hard-to-electrify sectors of the Southern California economy. In a final decision, the CPUC declared, "the public interest is served if SoCalGas begins conducting a feasibility study of the Project immediately." The agency also asked SoCalGas to join members of the Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES) in support of California's application for a share of $8 billion in available federal funds to support regional hydrogen hubs. " California has some of the boldest climate and clean air goals in the nation. The proposed Angeles Link aligns SoCalGas' scale, 150 years of expertise in service, and our highly skilled workforce with the clean energy and environmental policies that will shape this century," said SoCalGas Chief Executive Officer, Scott Drury. "As the CPUC's decision highlights, Angeles Link has the potential to support decarbonization for hard-to-electrify sectors of our economy, improve our air quality, bring new economic opportunities as well as sustain and grow skilled jobs to our region." "As the chair of the California Senate Select Committee on Hydrogen Energy, it is my goal to help California continue serving as a national and global leader in clean hydrogen development so we can reach our clean energy and zero emission vehicle goals," said California Senator Bob Archuleta (D- Pico Rivera). "This decision on Angeles Link by the CPUC advances California's leadership on hydrogen and better positions the state to secure billions in federal funding opportunities via ARCHES." Proposed in February of this year, Angeles Link would serve hard-to-electrify industries like dispatchable electric generation, heavy duty trucking and industrial processes. As contemplated, Angeles Link would deliver green hydrogen in an amount equivalent to almost 25% of the natural gas SoCalGas delivers today. In serving those industries, Angeles Link's green hydrogen could: Displace up to 3 million gallons of diesel fuel per day, or 1 billion gallons annually, and enable conversion of up to four natural gas power plants to run on clean renewable hydrogen. Eliminate nitrogen oxide (NO x) and carbon dioxide (CO 2) equal to removing 3.1 million cars off the road annually. Generate billions of dollars in new clean energy investments in the LA Basin and create thousands of new union jobs. Over time and combined with other future clean energy projects, Angeles Link could also help reduce natural gas demand served by the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, facilitating its ultimate retirement, while continuing reliable and affordable energy service to the region. Consensus Grows: Clean Renewable Hydrogen Key to Reaching California's, Nation's Climate Goals There is growing recognition among experts and policymakers that a broad set of tools will be needed to achieve California's climate and clean air goals by mid-century, including electrification, clean fuels like renewable natural gas and clean renewable hydrogen, and carbon management. The California Air Resources Board's (CARB's) recent Scoping Plan calls for scaling up, "new options such as renewable hydrogen for hard-to-electrify end uses" in its roadmap to decarbonize California. The federal government has also signaled that clean renewable hydrogen will play a key role in a clean-energy future, with billions of dollars in funding becoming available to develop clean renewable hydrogen hubs. The Angeles Link project could extend California's position as a leader on clean energy well into the future, while potentially helping to attract billions of dollars in new investment and maintaining and creating thousands of skilled jobs. "Green hydrogen is an important pathway to reach our goal of zero-emissions cargo operations at the Port," said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka. "The Port and our terminal partners have five active hydrogen demonstration projects and, ultimately, Angeles Link can play a key role in providing green hydrogen at the scale needed to achieve our zero-emissions and decarbonization goals by 2030." "This decision demonstrates that California is a clear leader in paving the way for clean energy infrastructure while ensuring good union jobs for members like Utility Workers Local 483 and our union brothers and sisters alike," said Ernie Shaw, President UWUA Local 483, AFL-CIO. "For the tens of thousands of skilled workers who build California's natural gas system, green hydrogen represents real and meaningful opportunities to participate in the state's clean energy transition," said Rodney Cobos of the Southern California Pipe Trades Council. " California's energy workers are among the most skilled and experienced in the nation, and it's important that they are ready and prepared to build the hydrogen infrastructure that projects like Angeles Link will facilitate. That's why we're glad to see that studying workforce planning and training will be a critical component of Angeles Link's next phase." "Green hydrogen looks promising as a form of long-duration energy storage that could enhance electric system reliability and as a fuel that can help California reach its net zero-carbon goals for industrial end uses that currently have no practical alternatives to the use of natural gas," said Jan Smutny Jones of Independent Energy Producers. "Establishing the memorandum account is a critical first step toward determining whether green hydrogen can supplement or replace natural gas and reduce carbon emissions from end uses that are hard to electrify." "The California Hydrogen Business Council is pleased with the California Public Utilities Commission decision to allow SoCalGas to begin incurring costs to study the feasibility of a purpose-built hydrogen pipeline," said Katrina M. Fritz, Executive Director of the California Hydrogen Business Council. "A common carrier pipeline would ensure transparent market access for hydrogen producers at all scales. The growth of this market is a necessary pathway for California to achieve deep decarbonization, as outlined in the recent update to the California Air Resources Board 2022 Scoping Plan for Achieving Carbon Neutrality." "Angeles Link is a robust project that will significantly reduce the need for fossil-based natural gas and Aliso Canyon in Los Angeles," said Kathryn Barger, who represents Los Angeles County's Fifth Supervisorial District. "I support efforts to move feasible projects forward that reduce emissions and the need for Aliso Canyon without jeopardizing grid reliability – or the good jobs and important businesses – that depend on the natural gas system. Angeles Link is a win-win for Los Angeles businesses and residents." "A hydrogen infrastructure project of this scale could help catalyze the market for clean hydrogen in California and across the Western United States," said Laura Parkan, Vice President, Hydrogen Energy Americas for Air Liquide N.A. "Our Nevada facility – currently the largest liquid hydrogen plant in the world – is already supplying the California transportation market, so a project of this scale will be another significant step forward for our hydrogen future." "Hydrogen is creating the next infrastructure boom in the U.S.," said Tracy Hernandez, Founding CEO of the Los Angeles County Business Federation (BizFed). "Estimates show green hydrogen alone could generate approximately $140 billion in revenue and support 700,000 jobs nationally by 2030. Angeles Link better positions Los Angeles to capture that revenue and benefit from those jobs." "Projects like the Angeles Link are vital to broader adoption of zero emission technologies across the state," said Craig Scott, Group Manager in Toyota's Fuel Cell Solutions Group. "Securing reliable and affordable supplies of green hydrogen allows companies like Toyota to develop next generation hydrogen fuel cell technologies for use in a variety of applications, such as our fuel cell electric vehicle powertrain for heavy-duty transport." "Securing a reliable and affordable supply of green hydrogen into the Los Angeles region, paired with more funding for zero emissions heavy-duty truck technology conversion, would enable more truck fleet owners and operators to transition their vehicles," said Matt Schrap, CEO of Harbor Trucking Association. "This decision by the CPUC to advance the Angeles Link is a crucial step towards making the transition a reality." Growing Portfolio of Sustainability, Hydrogen Innovation SoCalGas is a leader in sustainability, having announced its aim to have net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. It is the first large natural gas utility in the United States to do so. As part of SoCalGas' net-zero strategy, the company is developing an industry-leading portfolio of clean fuels demonstration projects with collaborators from private industry, the US Department of Energy and California Energy Commission, and leading research institutions such as the University of California, Irvine, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. More than a dozen hydrogen pilot projects are already underway across the company. In September, SoCalGas announced a proposed collaboration with the University of California, Irvine, to demonstrate how electrolytic hydrogen can be safely blended into existing natural gas infrastructure on the university's campus – an important next step in establishing a statewide injection standard for renewable hydrogen. SoCalGas is also constructing a clean renewable hydrogen microgrid as part of its [H2] Innovation Experience. The [H2] Innovation Experience is a proof-of-concept project for resilient, clean energy using an electrolyzer to convert solar energy to clean renewable hydrogen and a fuel cell to supply electricity to a home, neighborhood, or campus community – independent of the electric grid. Earlier this month, the project was awarded the U.S. Green Building Council - Los Angeles' (USGBC-LA) Sustainable Innovation Award which recognized SoCalGas' commitments to sustainability through projects that demonstrate exemplary performance. The project was also named a World-Changing Idea in North America by Fast Company in 2021. Angeles Link – Phase One and Next Steps The CPUC's approval of SoCalGas' Angeles Link memorandum account application allows the company to track costs of performing Phase One feasibility studies for the project. Phase One activities include preliminary engineering, design, along with studies of supply, demand, possible end users, pipeline configuration and storage solutions, environmental considerations, workforce planning and training, robust stakeholder outreach, and an analysis of project alternatives. "We're excited to have reached this important milestone and are grateful to the Commission and to leaders from labor, environmental organizations, government, and the private sector who are working together on the critical building blocks of California's clean renewable hydrogen economy," Drury said. "We look forward to supporting California in its application for federal hydrogen hub funding and continuing the robust, transparent and collaborative engagement process that has been a hallmark of the Angeles Link proposal from the start."

"We're proud to partner with Cameron LNG on this agreement," said Phillip May, Entergy Louisiana president and CEO. "Strong businesses lead to a stronger Louisiana for us all. Our customers are continuously seeking carbon-reduction options, and this is another example of us working with an industry leader to meet their own goals as well as our own." The MOU is non-binding and sets forth a framework for Entergy Louisiana and Cameron LNG to finalize and sign a minimum 20-year long-term agreement for the procurement of new renewable generation resources in Louisiana over an agreed-upon timeframe, subject to the ultimate approval of the Louisiana Public Service Commission and Cameron LNG. The new electric service agreement is expected to be developed together with a new, renewable tariff option that will be filed for Commission review and approval in the coming months. This new tariff along with Entergy Louisiana's recently approved optional Geaux Green tariff program will provide customers the opportunity to reduce their scope 2 emissions by subscribing to new renewable generation resources. Cameron LNG, a 13.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) liquefied natural gas export facility operating in Hackberry, is working with its joint venture partners to develop a cost-effective and lower-emission potential expansion of the facility. The proposed Cameron LNG expansion would include an additional liquefaction train with a maximum production capacity of approximately 6.75 Mtpa that is planned to utilize electric compression, equivalent to adding approximately 300 megawatts (MW) of demand to the Entergy Louisiana system. Entergy has been an industry leader in voluntary climate action for more than two decades. In 2001, the company was the first U.S. electric utility to commit to voluntarily stabilizing greenhouse gas emissions. That goal has since been accelerated with a commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

SoCalGas and Captura Begin Testing Innovative Direct Ocean Carbon Removal Technology

The advanced technology could help remove carbon from the atmosphere and accelerate CA's climate goals NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Nov. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) and Captura, a carbon removal company founded at Caltech, announced the deployment of an innovative, direct ocean carbon removal technology that uses 100% renewable energy and ocean water to draw down surplus atmospheric CO 2. The technology was recently installed at Caltech's Kerckhoff Marine Lab in Newport Beach and marks the first time the Captura system will be operating in ocean water conditions. Over the next few months, researchers will test and validate the energy efficiency costs and purity of the extracted CO 2. Captura plans to scale up the technology to remove millions of tons of atmospheric CO 2, which could help accelerate achieving California's climate goals. "Just like solar panels, wind turbines, and clean fuels, carbon removal technologies will be essential tools in the clean energy transition," said Neil Navin, SoCalGas vice president for clean energy innovations. "Supporting innovations like the Captura technology helps utilities like SoCalGas plan for the infrastructure investments that will be needed to reach California's climate goals affordably and reliably." Carbon management technologies are expected to play an important role in meeting the state's climate goals. In California, Governor Gavin Newsom's recent ambitious climate proposal includes setting a 20 million metric tons (MMT) carbon removal target for 2030 and 100 MMT carbon removal target for 2045, emphasizing the role of natural and working lands and the need for safe and equitable engineered carbon removal. "The climate crisis is already having a staggering impact on California, from droughts and wildfires to heat waves and other catastrophic weather events," said Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris. "These impacts are only expected to intensify, posing a significant threat to public health and our economy. State leaders need to deploy the full range of technologies available to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon removal, which leading experts have identified as a critical component of any successful strategy to meet our climate goals." "Captura's process removes a measurable stream of CO 2 from the ocean. We then return that de-carbonized water back into the ocean, which then absorbs the same quantity of CO 2 from the air. The CO 2 stream we produce can then be permanently sequestered or utilized in products," said Steve Oldham, CEO of Captura. "We are grateful for the support that SoCalGas has provided Captura, enabling this initial pilot demonstration and assisting us in quickly scaling up the technology." At commercial scale, Captura plans to deploy its technology atop offshore oil and gas platforms as they reach end of life. In this way, Captura can utilize existing infrastructure and co-locate the technology with existing storage sites. The company works closely with environmental health groups and ocean science experts for the protection of ocean ecosystems. Last year SoCalGas announced its aspiration to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions in its operations and the energy it delivers by 2045 and earlier this year released its ASPIRE 2045 Sustainability Strategy to help reach that goal. SoCalGas research has found that carbon management tools like Captura's, when combined with electrification and clean fuels like hydrogen and renewable natural gas, deliver the most affordable, resilient, and technologically proven path to full carbon neutrality. In 2021, SoCalGas joined the U.S. Department of Energy to fund testing of a first-of-its-kind direct air capture technology that captures carbon dioxide from the air while simultaneously collecting water that can be reused for irrigation. The company has a dozen carbon management projects in its Research, Development & Demonstration portfolio, designed to develop new tools to help with decarbonization and net-zero innovation. Video of the pilot ocean carbon removal technology is available here. About SoCalGas Headquartered in Los Angeles, SoCalGas® is the largest gas distribution utility in the United States.

Sempra Infrastructure and Williams Announce Preliminary Agreements for LNG Offtake, Gas Supply, and Associated Pipeline Projects

HOUSTON, Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Sempra (NYSE: SRE) (BMV: SRE), today announced it has entered into a heads of agreement (HOA) with Williams (NYSE: WMB) for the offtake of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and development of associated natural gas pipeline projects to further connect abundant U.S. natural gas supplies in the Gulf Coast region to markets around the world. The HOA contemplates negotiation and finalization of two 20-year long-term sale and purchase agreements for approximately 3 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of LNG in the aggregate from the Port Arthur LNG project under development in Jefferson County, Texas, and the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project under development in Hackberry, Louisiana. The HOA also contemplates the negotiation of a separate natural gas sales agreement for approximately 0.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcfd) to be delivered in the Gillis, Louisiana area, as feed gas supply for the referenced LNG projects. In addition, Sempra Infrastructure and Williams anticipate forming a strategic joint venture to own, expand and operate the existing 2.35 Bcfd Cameron Interstate Pipeline that is expected to deliver natural gas to the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project under development, as well as the proposed Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector that is expected to deliver natural gas to the proposed Port Arthur LNG facility. "We are excited to continue advancing our U.S. Gulf Coast LNG and associated pipeline projects as we work to help satisfy a growing global demand for cleaner, more reliable energy sources," said Justin Bird, CEO of Sempra Infrastructure. "We look forward to advancing our relationship with Williams, a like-minded company that shares our commitment to building a future of energy abundance, affordability and security." "Williams is pleased to pursue this strategic transaction with Sempra Infrastructure. We see it as an opportunity to combine our capabilities along the natural gas value chain and increase the delivery of low-carbon, affordable and reliable natural gas from the wellhead to the growing international market," said Alan Armstrong, president and CEO of Williams. "Facilitating the delivery of next generation natural gas to ease energy constraints at home and overseas, while also helping to meet domestic and global climate goals, is central to our natural gas focused strategy, and we look forward to being well aligned with Sempra Infrastructure's unique capabilities and competitive advantages in the LNG infrastructure space." Port Arthur LNG has the potential to become one of the largest LNG export facilities in North America. Phase 1 of Port Arthur LNG is permitted and expected to include two liquefaction trains and LNG storage tanks, as well as associated facilities capable of producing, under optimal conditions, up to approximately 13.5 Mtpa of LNG. Sempra Infrastructure recently announced it is expecting to take a final investment decision for Phase 1 of the liquefaction project in the first quarter of 2023. Additionally, the company announced last month that it had amended and restated its engineering, procurement and construction contract with Bechtel Energy for Phase 1. Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 is being developed as a similarly sized project located adjacent to the Phase 1 project. The Cameron LNG Phase 2 project is expected to include a single LNG train with a maximum production capacity of 6.75 Mtpa of LNG, as well as debottlenecking of the existing three LNG trains. The project is expected to include certain design enhancements resulting in a more cost-effective and efficient facility, while also reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions. The referenced HOA is a preliminary, non-binding arrangement, and the development of Sempra Infrastructure's LNG and associated pipeline projects remains subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including reaching definitive agreements, securing all necessary permits, signing engineering and construction contracts where applicable, obtaining financing and reaching a final investment decision for each project.
