CicLAvia: Heart of LA connected the communities of Westlake, Chinatown, Little Tokyo, Boyle Heights and Downtown Los Angeles. Streets were closed to cars and open for cyclists, pedestrians, runners and skaters to use as a recreational space showcasing Los Angeles's commitment to healthy communities and clean air. SoCalGas remains committed to improving our environment and supporting California's environmental goals. Earlier this year, SoCalGas committed to replacing 20 percent of its traditional natural gas supply with renewable natural gas (RNG) by 2030 – as part of a broad, inclusive and integrated plan to help achieve California's climate goals while maintaining affordability, reliability and choice for its customers. RNG is a renewable fuel produced from food waste, farms, landfills, and even sewer systems. It can rapidly cut greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) because it takes more climate pollution out of the air than it emits as an energy source. RNG is already helping eliminate emissions from trucks and buses. Research shows that replacing about 20 percent of California's traditional natural gas supply with RNG would lower emissions equal to retrofitting every building in the state to run on electric only energy and at a fraction of the cost. Using RNG in buildings can be two to three times less expensive than any all-electric strategy and does not require families or businesses to purchase new appliances or take on costly construction projects. Last year, SoCalGas donated more than $7 million to non-profits and community organizations. SoCalGas employees contributed more than $700 thousand dollars through payroll deductions and performed thousands of volunteer hours for various nonprofit groups throughout its service territory.

SoCalGas Applauds More Than 100 Local Governments in Southern California that Pass Resolutions in Support of Balanced Energy Policies

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today applauded the more than 100 local governments across Southern California, representing approximately 6.75 million Californians, that have passed resolutions in support of affordable and balanced strategies to reduce emissions from buildings and that call on state policymakers to preserve consumers' ability to choose either natural gas or electric appliances for their homes and businesses. These resolutions were passed in response to concerns state policymakers are taking steps to prohibit the use of natural gas in new buildings. State energy regulators are actively considering calls for new regulations that would eliminate natural gas use in new buildings and have also proposed programs that would result in existing natural gas customers paying for all-electric retrofits to existing homes. "It is amazing to me that state regulators are seriously considering transitioning California to run on a single energy source," said Steve Tye, Mayor Pro Tem for the City of Diamond Bar. "Policymakers should be advocating for and focused on a diverse portfolio of clean energy sources like solar, wind and renewable natural gas. I am proud that our city council unanimously passed a resolution calling for such a policy." "Many of my constituents have no idea the state has proposed moving towards eliminating the use of natural gas in every California building, including homes," said Rosemead Mayor Maggie Clark. "When I tell them what is happening they are incredulous and outraged because they love their natural gas stoves and appliances. How can it be that such an issue would not be debated in public?" "People are going to want to continue to use natural gas, and RNG allows folks to keep their gas but have more of it come from renewable sources," said Joe Neves, Chair of the County Board of Supervisors for Kings County. "This clean energy solution works with people's preferences rather than against them. We should have that right to decide." "The cost of switching gas appliances to electric-only in addition to an increase in energy costs would unfairly impact our low-income communities," said Andy Melendrez, Riverside Mayor Pro Tem. "More than 65 percent of the working population within the Inland Empire commutes to Los Angeles and Orange County daily due to our lower housing costs. This would force more of our population to move further away from their jobs increasing traffic, air-emissions and pollution." "Keeping energy costs down should be a top priority, especially at a time when California is undergoing what Gov. Newsom has identified as an affordability crisis, with skyrocketing costs on everything from housing to child care," said Sharon Tomkins, SoCalGas vice president for strategy and engagement. "That requires keeping all solutions on the table that can help meet California's clean energy goals, including renewable natural gas and hydrogen." Today, more than 90 percent of homes in Southern California use natural gas for space and water heating or cooking. Families in Southern California prefer natural gas by a margin of 4 to 1 for space and water heating and cooking because it is less expensive than electricity. A 2018 study by the California Building Industry Association found that replacing natural gas appliances in California homes with electric models could increase household energy costs by more than $850. Alternatively, another recent study found that replacing 20 percent of the natural gas California uses today with renewable natural gas could reduce emissions equal to electrifying every building in the state, at half the cost. Earlier this year, SoCalGas committed to replace 20 percent of the natural gas the company purchases with renewable natural gas by 2030 – as part of a broad, inclusive and integrated plan to help achieve California's ambitious climate goals.

SoCalGas Awards City of Corona more than $44,000 for Completion of Renewable Natural Gas Project at City's Water & Power Facility

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced the utility has awarded the City of Corona more than $44,000 in incentive funding following completion of a renewable energy project at one of the city's Department of Water & Power facilities. The project includes the retrofitting of an existing biogas conditioning unit at one of the city's wastewater treatment facilities. The unit, converts methane emissions from the wastewater treatment process into renewable natural gas that is used to heat the facility, helping reduce emissions. The newly-configured unit will save more than 50,000 therms each year – enough energy to fuel more than 300 homes. It will also save the City almost $30,000 annually. "Renewable natural gas projects like this one are essential to meeting California's environmental goals since they remove potent methane emissions linked to climate change, reduce fossil fuel use and can help municipal wastewater treatment facilities save money," said Jeff Walker, vice president of customer solutions for SoCalGas. "As part of our commitment to be the cleanest natural gas utility in North America, SoCalGas has committed to replacing 20 percent of the natural gas we deliver to our customers with renewable natural gas over the next decade. Helping cities increase energy efficiency at municipal facilities and reduce methane emissions is another vital part of our commitment." "The city's experience with this renewable energy project is one of many reasons the city council passed a resolution in support of a policy that provides affordable, reliable and diverse energy to the residents and business owners of Corona," said Mayor Jason Scott. "Not only is the city saving money and energy at our water reclamation facility thanks to this project, but we are also reducing emissions through the use of renewable natural gas." Renewable natural gas (RNG) is a renewable fuel produced from the emissions at wastewater treatment plants, farms, landfills, and food waste. It can rapidly cut greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) because it takes more climate pollution out of the air than it emits as an energy source. SoCalGas is working to build on RNG's success in the transportation sector by making it available to fuel the homes of the company's 21 million customers across Southern California. Earlier this year, SoCalGas committed to replace 20 percent of its traditional natural gas supply with renewable natural gas (RNG) by 2030 – as part of a broad, inclusive and integrated plan to help achieve California's ambitious climate goals. The City of Corona is among 100 local governments across Southern California that have passed resolutions in support of using RNG as a strategy to reduce emissions from homes, businesses, farming, landfills, transportation and government operations. Research shows that replacing about 20 percent of California's traditional natural gas supply with RNG would lower emissions equal to retrofitting every building in the state to run on electricity and at a fraction of the cost. Using RNG in buildings can be two to three times less expensive than any all-electric strategy and does not require families or businesses to purchase new appliances or take on costly construction projects. Today organic waste from farms, landfills, and wastewater treatment plants account for 80 percent of methane emissions in California. A 2016 law requires 40 percent of methane from the state's landfills and dairies to be captured, with provisions to deliver that energy to customers. This will bolster the supply of RNG that is already growing rapidly as cities and towns across the country look to divert organic waste from landfills. In California, scientists at the University of California, Davis estimate that the state's existing organic waste could produce enough RNG to meet the needs of 2.3 million homes. SoCalGas and the Corona Department of Water & Power began the biogas conditioning project based on results of a 2013 engineering audit performed by SoCalGas. The incentive funding was provided by SoCalGas' energy efficiency programs, authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- In advance of national Energy Efficiency Day on October 2, Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) reminds customers that taking a few simple steps can help conserve energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save money on utility bills. SoCalGas energy efficiency programs delivered more than 180 million therms in energy savings for their customers over the past five years, enough natural gas usage for 403,000 households a year. These advances have also helped save SoCalGas customers more than $198 million in utility bill costs. In 2018 alone, SoCalGas' energy efficiency programs saved customers $57 million. "SoCalGas prides itself on being a leader in energy efficiency and helping to reduce emissions," said Dan Rendler, director of customer programs and assistance at SoCalGas. "By offering our customers innovative programs and services that assist them in using gas more efficiently, we are helping them reduce their energy costs and improve the environment. As we recognize Energy Efficiency Day, SoCalGas continues its commitment to provide programs and services that promote energy efficiency and drive energy affordability." Customers can take advantage of hundreds of rebates on energy-efficient appliances. Applying for these rebates can be done online in a matter of minutes. Among the most popular are smart thermostats. These devices can learn your schedule and temperature preferences and adjust the temperature in your home accordingly. They also allow users to adjust home temperatures with a mobile app or computer and can even use local weather conditions to help control energy costs. Last winter, customers who participated in a smart thermostat energy efficiency pilot program saved enough natural gas to dry two million loads of laundry. The utility also offers SoCalGas Marketplace, where customers can find and compare energy efficient products. Customers can save $50 on select smart thermostats and Energy Star natural gas dryers, up to $600 on select water heaters and up to $750 on select pool heaters. Customers can also save money on low-flow showerheads, including those with thermostatic shut-off valves that temporarily cut water flow once the water has become hot. Over its lifetime, an energy efficient appliance will save customers thousands of dollars in energy bills—approximately $1,500 with a tankless water heater, $550 with a natural gas furnace, $200 with a storage water heater and $125 with a smart thermostat. Customers are also encouraged to sign up for free bill tracking alerts and other online tools to help keep heating affordable this winter. "Bill Tracker Alerts" are an easy way to track natural gas use each week — instead of waiting until the monthly bill arrives — and can help customers use less natural gas and lower their bills. Customers can enroll for Bill Tracker Alerts in My Account. Once enrolled, they can easily access their gas usage information, pay bills, schedule service orders and sign up for Bill Tracker Alerts by visiting "Manage My Account: Manage Alerts." Temperatures in Southern California typically turn cooler in November and can remain cold through March. Lower temperatures are usually accompanied by an increase in home heating bills, but there are ways to save money. Customers can take these steps to reduce their natural gas use during cold weather to help keep energy costs affordable: Set your thermostat to 68 degrees when you are home and 55 degrees when you are not home. Lowering your thermostat three to five degrees can save up to 10 percent on heating costs. Install proper caulking and weather-stripping; this can save roughly 10 to 15 percent on heating and cooling costs. Wash clothes in cold water to save up to 10 percent on water heating costs. Clean or replace your furnace filters according to manufacturer recommendations. Have your air ducts tested for leaks. Leaky ducts can cost between 10 to 30 percent in heating and cooling costs. Turn down the temperature on your water heater. Take shorter showers to reduce your natural gas use. Fix leaky faucets and pipes. Hot water leaks cause increased demand on the water heater, which increases natural gas use. One drop of water per second can waste 500 gallons of hot water per year. Limit use of non-essential natural gas appliances, such as spas and fireplaces. More energy saving tips are located here.

Los Angeles-Long Beach Port Trucking Company Replacing Entire Diesel Truck Fleet with Near-Zero Emissions Natural Gas Trucks

Total Transportation Services Inc. (TTSI) today announced it is replacing its entire diesel trucking fleet with near-zero emission natural gas trucks, which it plans to fuel with carbon negative renewable natural gas. The announcement was made in conjunction with the non-profit Coalition for Clean Air (CCA) to raise awareness of the importance of natural and renewable gas trucking to help improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the Los Angeles region, especially at the L.A. and Long Beach ports. Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas), along with environmental health non-profit BREATHE LA, fueling company Clean Energy, engine manufacturer Cummins Westport, and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) participated in today’s announcement. Twenty-five percent of TTSI’s investment in the new natural gas trucks was funded through CARB’s California Climate Investments initiative, a statewide program that puts billions of cap-and-trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy and improving public health and the environment—particularly in disadvantaged communities. In any given month, 13,000 to 14,000 trucks call at the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, emitting roughly 2,600 tons per year of smog-causing nitrogen-oxide emissions. TTSI’s 40 new near-zero emission heavy-duty compressed natural gas (CNG) trucks reduce this type of emissions by 90 percent. In addition, when fueled with renewable natural gas the trucks will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 80 percent. “If every one of the 14,000 trucks that call at these ports were changed to natural gas, it would have a major impact on air quality in the region,” said Vic LaRosa, President of TTSI. “We hope other haulers will follow our lead and make the switch as well.” “Southern California needs to reduce its smog-forming emissions by 45 percent before 2023 to meet Federal standards,” said Dr. Joseph Lyou, President & CEO of Coalition for Clean Air. “Replacing diesel engines with near-zero emission trucks would take us a long way toward meeting Environmental Protection Agency rules and avoiding the loss of federal highway funding.” “TTSI’s commitment to switch their fleet to 100% clean natural gas, battery-electric, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles help bring advanced technologies to market scale deployment–technologies that are needed to meet our State air quality goals” said Michelle Buffington of the California Air Resources Board. “We applaud TTSI for their commitment to clean air and public health.” "SoCalGas has been promoting the switch to natural gas heavy-duty trucks for years and has helped truckers and trucking companies replace at least 550 diesel trucks with clean natural gas trucks,” said Yuri Freedman, senior director of business development at SoCalGas. "That equates to taking about 30,000 cars off of California’s roads." “Clean Energy is proud to continue our partnership with TTSI in deploying this fleet of 40 CNG trucks, a journey that started 12 years ago,” said Greg Roche, vice president at Clean Energy. “The renewable natural gas used by these trucks will immediately and affordably drive down greenhouse gas emissions better than any other option available to trucking.” “TTSI is helping lead the way towards cleaner air quality at the Ports,” said Marc Carrel, CEO and president at BREATHE California of Los Angeles County (BREATHE LA). “We applaud their commitment and hope to see other local trucking companies follow TTSI’s model by getting rid of their diesel fleets as well.” “Cummins Westport is proud to support a near-zero emissions strategy for our customers and industry,” said Tom Swenson, business development manager at Cummins Westport. “Our product line offers trucking businesses the benefits of performance and reliability at ultra-low emissions levels.” TTSI’s analysis and testing of the Cummins Westport trucks found they met the company’s busy drayage operation needs. The trucks will be operated by TTSI’s Heavy Load Transfer, LLC division (Port Drayage).
