excess
renewable
energy
goes through
Electrolysis,
which splits the
molecule
hydrogen &
carbon combine
through
methanization
carbon captured from factories and plants
methane can
be
stored in the
pipeline for
future use
Power-to-gas
converts excess renewable electricity into renewable natural gas
6
Convert waste
from dairies, farms
and landfills
into biogas
using anaerobic
digestion
extract the methane
put in the pipeline
for future use
Renewable Natural Gaswill help us reach our goals Meet the same GHG reductions
as the current plan to electrify
30% of homes and buildings with5% RNG
Achieve the same GHG reductions
as overhauling 100% of CA’s
buildings to all electricity with 16% RNG

Using RNG 3x or more
cost effective than ANY electrification scenario

Moreno Valley Compressor Station Upgrade
Riverside County leading the way
•Two new zero-emission, electric-driven compressors
•Two new lower-emission, turbine-driven compressors
•Retrofit existing unit with emission reduction
equipment
•Green Hydrogen fuel cells and storage tanks
•Company green hydrogen fueling station
Moreno Valley Compressor Station Upgrade
•Reduces air emissions such as NOx by 70%.
•Equivalent of removing 36,000 passenger vehicles off the road each year.
•Produces 750 kg of green hydrogen per day.
•Equivalent to the amount of renewable energy to fuel 300 homes per
day, or approximately 120 vehicles.
•Provides an estimated 200 construction jobs for 24 to 36 months
•$500 million investment in Riverside County
