2. The Future of Renewable Energy in CA - Near Term Approaching 33% renewable electricity Governor announced goal of 12,000 MW of distributed generation SB 1122 will launch later this year LCFS = 10% reduction in carbon intensity of transportation fuels CA’s gas supply is still 99% fossil fuels and 91% from out of state

3. The Future of Renewable Energy in CA - Mid Term (2030) Governor Brown and SB 350 (de León) call for:  50% Renewable Electricity  50% petroleum reduction  50% increase in energy efficiency  Reduction in Short-Lived Climate Pollutants

4. The Future of Renewable Energy in CA - Long Term (2050 +) 80-90 % carbon reduction Increased distributed generation and local supplies for climate resilience Flexible generation power + storage Need renewable hydrogen for fuel cells Continue to diversify energy sources – electrification plus decarbonized gas

5. The Future of Renewable Energy in CA - Why We Need a Renewable Gas Standard Flexible generation power and energy storage Lowest Carbon transportation in existence Renewable hydrogen for fuel cells Destroys methane and black carbon Reduce landfilling, wildfire, pollution Provide organic fertilizer and soil amendments that help save water

6. SB 687 (Allen) – Renewable Gas Standard  50 % Renewable Electricity flexible generation power Energy storage Lower cost, higher reliability RPS at 50%  50 % Petroleum Reduction Lowest Carbon transportation fuels Can replace ¾ of all diesel used in CA Immediate benefit for public health, air quality, GHG  Reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants Methane from organic waste, livestock, landfills, etc. Black carbon from wildfire
