NGVAmerica President Dan Gage provided testimony at the U.S. EPA’s hearing on August 25 on the Biden administration’s notice of proposed rulemaking to revise the greenhouse gas emission standards for light-duty vehicles for model year 2023 and later. The much-expected action proposes to restore emission standards back to levels that are close to what was previously adopted by the Obama administration in 2012 but amended by the Trump administration. At the public hearing, Gage articulated that renewable natural gas (RNG) should be a key part of any inclusive mix, as RNG is a zero-carbon now solution. The latest data puts the carbon intensity of bio-CNG in California’s system at -16.57 gCO2e/MJ (Q1, 2021), which is the lowest of any on-road motor fuel energy source, including fully renewable electric from solar or wind.
