Description (excerpt):

“Renewable Gas: Not A Climate-Aligned Solution for Buildings” covers biogas and synthetic gas and why neither are viable alternatives to building electrification.
Electrification is the most viable option to fully decarbonize Oregon’s buildings. Alternative fuels like renewable gas are more expensive, limited in supply, and can still cause significant environmental and health impacts. Oregon must plan to transition away from existing gas infrastructure as part of its clean energy strategy.
