Decarbonization Analyses
Several state and national studies identify the key strategies for economy-wide decarbonization
bull Energy Efficiency - Energy intensity of GDP must decline by 70 to 2050 (Nationally)
bull Decarbonized electricity - Near complete decarbonization of electricity
bull Fuel switching ndash Electrification where possible
bull Decarbonize fuels ndash Liquid and gas

LDC Challenges and Opportunities
RNG allows LDCs to use existing natural gas distribution system to deliver a renewable fuel and decarbonize the fuel supplied to customers
Challenges Potential Solutions
bull Upfront capital costs gas processing interconnection pipeline laterals
bull Utilities subject to least-cost requirements
bull Lack of gas quality standards creates uncertainty for both developers and utilities
bull Availability of RNG supply in a given state or region
bull Voluntary RNG customer offerings bull FortisBC DTE Energy Vermont Gas
bull Direct contracting to large end users bull Corporations and institutions with sustainability goals
bull Renewable Thermal Collaborative bull Renewable Gas Standards ndash following Renewable Portfolio Standards
bull State policy action bull Interconnectiongas quality standards
bull Funding mechanisms bull Regulator consideration of climateeconomic benefit of RNG investment
