Challenges and Opportunities for LA County
• Biggest population, greatest waste• Puentes Hills landfill closing• Need for renewable electricity and low-
carbon, less polluting vehicle fuels• Need to reduce air, water and GhG pollution• Need to address environmental justice issues• Create jobs, businesses and local energy
supplies

Benefits for LA County
• Clean fuels from landfill gas and diverted waste• Baseload power to complement wind and solar • Reduced energy/fuel costs and/or increased revenues • Reduced odors and pollution from landfills, MRFs • Production of organic fertilizers and soil amendments• Most jobs/dollar invested of any electricity source• Helps attract / grow LA County businesses

• Association of bioenergy companies, public agencies, environmental groups working together to promote sustainable bioenergy development
• Focus on renewable electricity, biogas, biofuels, combined heat and power from organic waste
• Provide policy and project advocacy, public education and outreach, industry best practices and targeted research

2013 Policy Priorities
• SB 1122 (250 MW of bioenergy)
• AB 1900 and AB 2196 (pipeline biogas)
• Reauthorization of AB 118 (clean transportation $$)
• Improved transmission and pipeline access
• AB 32 and EPIC funds for bioenergy
• South Coast AQMD Rule 1110.2

SB 1122 – Bioenergy Procurement
• Requires 250 megawatts of Bioenergy procurement:
- 110 megawatts from urban organic waste- 90 megawatts from dairies and ag waste- 50 megawatts from forest waste
• Rules being developed at CPUC under Re-MAT proceeding

AB 1900 (Gatto)• Addresses “Hayden law” prohibition on vinyl
chloride in pipeline biogas• Requires CPUC to set new pipeline biogas
standards for pipeline safety and public health• CPUC must also set monitoring, testing and
reporting requirements• OEHHA and DTSC will develop contaminant list
and establish safe levels to protect public health

AB 2196 (Chesbro)• Clarifies pipeline biogas eligibility under CA’s
Renewable Portfolio Standard • Applies to contracts executed after 3/29/12• Biomethane must be: 1) used onsite or injected into dedicated pipeline;2) injected into a pipeline that flows within CA or toward the eligible generating facility; or3) the seller or purchaser demonstrates at least one of three environmental benefits to CA
