  6. POSITION We support sustainable development, deployment and utilization of RNG from a diversity of FEEDSTOCKS , using competing TECHNOLOGIES , for all sustainable END-USE APPLICATIONS .

  7. USES FOR RNG ELECTRICITY: Lighting & Electric Appliances TRANSPORTATION FUEL: Direct Use in Natural Gas Vehicles, Secondary Use as Electricity or Renewable Hydrogen & Indirect Use as Process Fuel BUILDING DECARBONIZATION: Heating & Gas Appliances INDUSTRIAL SECTOR: Heating, Drying, Dehumidification, Melting, Food Processing, & Fueling Boilers

  8. INDUSTRY TIMELINE 1982: 1st RNG Project Developed (Still Operating): Staten Island, NY 1982-2011: 31 RNG Projects Developed in 30 Years: Almost 100% Offsite Electricity Driven by PURPA & RPS 2011-2019: 79 RNG Projects Developed in 8 Years: Transition to Transportation Fuel Driven by RFS & LCFS 2020: 110 RNG Projects in Operation: 80/20 Transportation Fuel/Electricity

  13. RNG TODAY: RNG IS SATURATING EXISTING VEHICLE DEMAND IN CALIFORNIA 7,000,000 100% Total Natural Gas Vehicle Demand Renewable Natural Gas Vehicle Use 90% 6,000,000 Percent Renewable 80% Amount Used in Transport (MMBtu) 5,000,000 70% Percent Renewable 60% 4,000,000 50% 3,000,000 40% 30% 2,000,000 20% 1,000,000 10% - 0% Q2 Q3 Q4 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q2 2014Q1 2015Q1 2016Q1 2017Q1 2018Q1 2019Q1 13 Notes: Values in LHV Source: https://ww3.arb.ca.gov/fuels/lcfs/dashboard/quarterlysummary/quarterlysummary_103119.xlsx

  14. STUDIES THAT PREDICT HEAVY ELECTRIFICATION ALSO REQUIRE DRAMATIC GROWTH IN RNG 0.5 EJ = 474 Million MMBtu of RNG We need at least 30x current CA RNG use!
