California has the potential to produce 85% of renewable natural gas (the California Air Resources Board) for use in transport by 2020, according to a study for RNG (ARB). The study also found that the California Air Resources Board adoption would be wider if combined with federal credits. California has the capacity to produce 90.6 billion cubic feet (bcf) per year of the California Air Resources Board. However, obstacles to large-scale use are the cost of upgrading and interconnecting existing pipelines.
