SoCalGas and CR&R Environmental Services, a waste management company in Southern California, have begun construction of an eight-inch pipeline that will carry RNG into the SoCalGas distribution system for the first time. CR&R Environmental is funding the 1.4-mile pipeline, which will connect an existing SoCalGas pipeline to a new CR&R anaerobic digestion facility in Perris, to be completed this spring. RNG from the facility will power CR&R’s fleet of 900 waste-hauling trucks, and SoCalGas plans to begin bringing the RNG into its pipelines by June.
Clean Energy Fuels has announced an agreement with Mountain Valley Express, an express shipping company in Manteca, to provide Redeem RNG to fuel the company’s nine new heavy-duty trucks powered by the Cummins Westport ISL G Near-Zero NOx natural gas engine.
