Natural Gas

“The value chain around a hydrogen economy is going to be important.”

“We will pipe in hydrogen, mix it right at the plant, blend it with gas, and then feed it into the plant.”

The New York Power Authority announced the Green Hydrogen Demonstration Project, the first commercial natural-gas-fired power plant in the U.S. to demonstrate the technical feasibility of green hydrogen blending.

Conversation with the Gas Technology Institute’s Mike Rutkowski and Bill Liss about the white paper “Gas and Electricity Storage Systems.”

“Some of those goals include delivering 60% renewable or zero-carbon energy to California electric consumers by 2030 at SDG&E and delivering 20% RNG to core customers by 2030 at SoCalGas.”

“Over eighty percent of our customers want us to be pursuing renewable natural gas, to be working on solutions that balance affordability and our climate objectives.”

“We’re going to have to tailor solutions and blend them in a way that’s going to meet the needs of communities, make sure our customers are not left behind, and we have equitable outcomes.”

“Carbon neutrality is another way we’ve set ourselves apart. A couple of years ago when we set the goal to become carbon neutral by 2030 in our operations, we were the first to set such an early date for full neutrality.”

“A bipartisan Natural Gas Innovation Act we supported was ultimately passed. That provided a framework for the Minnesota PUC to address innovations in natural gas service, like RNG, carbon sequestration, hydrogen, and whatever technology comes next.”

There has never been more urgency to align gas utility planning and regulation with state and federal climate policies.
