Pacific Gas and Electric Company Seeks to Research Biomethane Resources for its Customers Utility Issues Request for Information for Potential Biomethanation Demonstration Project
SAN FRANCISCO - Pacific Gas and Electric Company today announced that it has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to identify partners for a potential project to demonstrate technologies that could cost-effectively produce significant quantities of biomethane - pipeline-quality, renewable natural gas. The demonstration project is part of PG&E's commitment to increase the amount of clean energy it provides customers throughout its northern and central California service area.
Biomethane is pipeline-quality gas derived from biomass as defined by the California Energy Commission (CEC), which includes any organic material not derived from fossil fuels, including agricultural crops, agricultural and forestry wastes and residues, and construction wood wastes, among others. Biomethanation is the process of converting biomass to biomethane.
"There is a tremendous opportunity in California to utilize biomass, which would otherwise go unused, to contribute significantly to meeting the state's climate goals," said Fong Wan, vice president of Energy Procurement for PG&E. "With this request for information, we hope to identify promising biomethanation technologies and understand what the market needs for support. Biomethanation is the latest example of how PG&E is planning for the future by exploring innovative technologies to produce and deliver clean energy."

Too bad what used to be cattle fields are now corn fields to produce ethanol. _________________ People first, then things, then dollars.
