Investigación, Desarrollo y Demostración (RD&D)
Our Research Development and Demonstration (RD&D) Program is key in our goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045.
Working to reduce the environmental impact for all of us
SoCalGas® is actively working towards the goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions in our operations and delivery of energy by 2045. Innovation and the rapid development of new technologies are vital to our success. Our Research, Development, & Demonstration (RD&D) Program plays a key role in this effort by developing and demonstrating transformational products and technologies that promote decarbonization across the natural gas value chain and a diversified portfolio of clean energy sources, distributed networks, tools, and applications.

Impact of H2 Blending on an 18L Rich-Burn NG Engine with NSCR Catalyst
Watch as SoCalGas and Colorado State University (CSU) talk about the impact of hydrogen blending on natural gas (NG) engines.
Interest in hydrogen (H2) fuels is growing, with the industry planning to produce it with stranded or excess energy from renewable sources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This work explores the impact that H2-NG blends would have on “Rich burn” (stoichiometric) engines with non-selective catalytic reduction (NSCR), or 3-way, catalysts. Results indicate a significant reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions up to 30 vol% H2 is added to the fuel.
