The Illusion of ‘Clean Fuels’ in Decarbonizing Gas Utilities

16apr6:30 pm8:30 pmThe Illusion of ‘Clean Fuels’ in Decarbonizing Gas Utilities

Event Details

Gas utilities often push to blend renewable natural gas (RNG) and hydrogen into their existing pipeline systems as a foundation for their decarbonization strategies. However, supply constraints, high costs, and emissions risks prevent RNG and hydrogen from meaningfully contributing to a reduction in gas utilities’ climate pollution.

This presentation will provide important context on the state of RNG and hydrogen technology and policy, walk through the risks associated with trying to use them to decarbonize gas utilities, and share real-world examples of how utilities are discounting or covering up these risks.

Colorado Renewable Energy Society

The Colorado Renewable Energy Society (CRES) was founded on March 29, 1996, with Ron Larson and Paul Notari generating the first membership solicitation. Our first board meeting was held on April 8, and the Inaugural Meeting of Membership on May 22, 1996. On June 6, 1996, CRES was incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the state of Colorado. CRES drives environmental, social, and economic benefits for Colorado by promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency. CRES and its local chapters provide education, policy advocacy, and community engagement that accelerate the adoption of all forms of renewable energy, energy efficiency, high-performance building, energy storage, and emerging technologies that will help Colorado achieve 100% renewable energy.
