SoCalGas equips Vehicles with RNG

SoCalGas announces a multi-million dollar collaboration with Landi Renzo USA to equip its fleet with renewable natural gas vehicles.

SoCalGas is partnering with Italian equipment manufacturer Landi Renzo in a multi-million dollar deal. The gas company will incorporate 200 Ford F250 vehicles powered by renewable natural gas (RNG) into its fleet. These vehicles will be equipped with the latest Landi Renzo Eco Ready technology certified by the California Air Resource Board.

A long-term collaboration

The two companies had already entered into a partnership last year to supply 200 natural gas converted vans. With the conversion of 200 new vans, SoCalGas is expected to reduce its CO2 emissions by an additional 2,000 tons. This new contract brings the proportion of vehicles running on renewable natural gas to 44% of its fleet.

Andrea Landi, president of Landi Renzo USA, says about this:

“We are excited to continue our partnership with SocalGas to deploy more clean vehicles. With these renewable natural gas vehicles SocalGas is moving toward a sustainable future. We welcome their leadership while seeking new opportunities for decarbonization.”

Landi Renzo will continue to work with Phenix Truck Body and CTEC Truck Body to provide the additional 200 vehicles.

A partnership based on the exploitation of renewable natural gas

Natural renewable gas is produced by capturing methane emissions from organic waste. It usually comes from wastewater treatment or from the fermentation of organic matter in landfills.

Depending on its source, the natural gas produced can have a negative carbon footprint. In this case, it displaces more CO2 than it emits as fuel. This capture of methane and its conversion into natural gas reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The use of fossil fuels is also limited thanks to this process.

SoCalGas aims for Net Zero

Building a fleet of clean vehicles is a key part of SoCalGas’ goal. The company plans to have a 100% zero-emission fleet by 2035.

Clean fuels such as renewable natural gas are therefore a major asset in achieving climate goals in California.
