California Utility Employees Presentation on Methane Emission Reduction Strategies

The Coalition of California Utility Employees presented strategies for the reduction of methane emissions, focusing on technologically feasible and cost-effective measures to prevent leaks and repair leaking components promptly. The rules and procedures adopted aim to address safety requirements and climate change impacts while considering the affordability of gas service for vulnerable customers. Furthermore, the state board aims to implement a comprehensive plan to reduce methane, hydrofluorocarbon gases, and anthropogenic black carbon emissions by specific percentages below 2013 levels by 2030.
