Anaergia begins delivering biomethane to Southwest Gas grid
In California, Anaergia Inc. has begun deliveries to Southwest Gas Corporation’s distribution system. This marks the first delivery of renewable natural gas in California under the state’s Biomethane Procurement Program.
The project received conditional approval by the California Public Utilities Commission on March 19, 2026 and commenced RNG delivery after satisfying the CPUC conditions, demonstrating SB 1440’s effectiveness in enabling commercial-scale RNG projects that meet utility safety and quality standards.
The SoCal Biomethane facility, located at the Victor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority in Victorville, co-digests municipal wastewater solids and diverted organic waste sourced across Southern California, upgrading resulting biogas to pipeline-quality RNG that complies with Southwest Gas’ California tariff. The facility can process up to 104,000 tons of organic waste annually and has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 31,710 metric tons of CO2-equivalent per year.
