Is LNG environmentally friendly?
A. LNG is simply natural gas in a liquefied state. Natural gas is the cleanest-burning fossil fuel, which is why it has become the preferred fossil fuel for electric generation. Natural gas has been a key element in clean air strategies around the world, especially here in California. SDG&E and Southern California Gas Company are implementing plans to reduce greenhouse gases emitted through their operations and help customers reduce their greenhouse emissions. Also, the utilities will continue to promote energy efficiency programs that save energy and thereby help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
