Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) has unveiled plans for the Angeles Link, a project that would deliver green hydrogen in an amount equivalent to almost 25% of the natural gas SoCalGas delivers today.
In a statement, the company said, “We are proposing to develop what would be the nation’s largest green hydrogen energy infrastructure system, the Angeles Link, to deliver clean, reliable energy to the Los Angeles region. As proposed, the Angeles Link would support the integration of more renewable electricity resources like solar and wind and would significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from electric generation, industrial processes, heavy-duty trucks, and other hard-to-electrify sectors of the Southern California economy. The proposed Angeles Link would also significantly decrease demand for natural gas, diesel and other fossil fuels in the LA Basin, helping accelerate California’s and the region’s climate and clean air goals.”
SoCalGas also has a target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions in its operations by 2045. The company expects to meet that goal by supplying its nearly 22 million customers increasingly with gas produced from organic waste and hydrogen.
