SoCalGas CEO highlights game-changing natural gas technology

The solution to reducing greenhouse emissions is to deploy near-zero emission heavy-duty natural gas trucks fueled by increasing volumes of renewable natural gas, according to a new technical paper.

The study, which concludes only one solution exists to immediately transform the heavy-duty transportation sector to affordably cut smog-forming pollutants, was quoted by SoCalGas President and CEO Dennis Arriola.

"California needs every option available and near-zero emission, heavy-duty engines using renewable natural gas represent the best opportunity we have to get our cities off the 'most polluted right now,” says Arriola.

The Game Changer technical paper released publicly this week explores the need and approaches to start deploying zero-emission and near-zero-emission heavy-duty vehicle technologies on a wide-scale basis in the United States.

Arriola spoke about this topic at ACT Expo in Long Beach, North America's largest advanced clean vehicle event.
