Southwest Gas Truckee Hydrogen Project Looks Forward to a Sustainable Energy Future
TRUCKEE, Calif. – Southwest Gas Corporation (Southwest Gas or Company), as part of our commitment to meet our customers’ goals for sustainable energy and achieve economy-wide carbon reduction targets, is translating purpose into action with its proposed hydrogen-blending demonstration project (Project) filed with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) on September 8, 2022.
Statement: The American Gas Association (AGA) strongly disagrees with the proposed rule by the U.S. Department of Energy
The American Gas Association (AGA) strongly disagrees with the proposed rule by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to electrify new or newly renovated federal buildings calling it, “impractical, unscientific and expensive.”
Why U.S. Electricity Is Becoming Even More Natural Gas Dominant
Most forget now but back to 2011 the Paris-based International Energy Agency confirmed for us the coming “Golden Age” of natural gas.
Enhancing and Maintaining Energy System Resilience
Resilience is an inherent and crucial component of a dependable energy system obtained through diverse and redundant energy sources. Gas system resiliency and the ability to meet seasonal and peak demands represent important elements that must be considered when designing energy systems and a low-carbon future. Recent weather events have shown the value and necessity of a resilient gas system and the inextricable linkage between fuel delivery, the supply of electricity, and peak energy management across the gas and electric systems.
New report confirms safety of gas cooking in California homes and businesses
Cooking using natural gas is safe, a new analysis confirms. Emissions from cooking using natural gas do not represent a health risk and there is no significant difference between cooking with natural gas and electric stoves in terms of indoor air quality, according to a new report released by researchers at Catalyst Environmental Solutions.
America's Natural Gas Industry Will Be Essential to Achieve a Net-Zero Emissions Future
Climate change is a defining challenge across the globe, and natural gas, natural gas utilities, and the delivery infrastructure are essential to meeting our nation's greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals. AGA engaged ICF to conduct the first comprehensive analysis exploring natural gas utility pathways to achieve net-zero emissions.
Investing in the US Natural Gas Pipeline System to Support Net-Zero Targets
The Biden administration’s move to bring the United States back into the Paris Agreement and lower greenhouse gas emissions to address climate change will, if carried through, lead to a reduction in fossil fuel consumption.
Natural gas could power new chapter in manure-to-energy
At a few pennies per kilowatt-hour, farmers don’t make much from the electricity they generate from cow manure. So producers like Jason Burroughs are turning to markets clear across the country to sell a more promising type of power: renewable natural gas.
Southwest Gas and RTC Partner to Expand Clean Fuel Transit Options in Southern Nevada
The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (PUCN)-approved agreement allows Southwest Gas to provide RTC with environmentally friendly Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) to fuel most of the agency’s public transit fleet. U.S. Gain, a Sustainable Energy SolutionsSM provider, was selected to supply the RNG.
President Biden’s Department Of Energy Just Affirmed Much More Oil And Natural Gas
Along with the International Energy Agency’s World Energy Model, NEMS is the most vital energy outlook of them all - not from the Sierra Club, not from ExxonMobil, not a Koch conspiracy.
The ‘Hydrogen Hype’ Is Justified – Here’s Why
Hydrogen is no stranger. For more than 100 years, humans have worked with this ubiquitious element in various capacities, and we’ve long known its potential as a clean energy source.
Green hydrogen could compete with traditional hydrogen by 2030, natural gas by 2050: report
Green hydrogen remains too expensive to compete against conventional sources of hydrogen and other fuels, but the number of hydrogen projects underway has grown seven-fold in the past year as investors bank on the likelihood that hydrogen costs will fall, according to a report out last week from Wood Mackenzie.
Politics Aside: The fact is natural gas is accelerating our clean-energy future
It is time for an honest conversation about energy. Not a conversation fueled by partisan rhetoric or illusions or special interests. But one that begins with a reality check: We cannot and will not solve the climate crisis with renewable sources alone — natural gas must also be part of the solution.
