- PG&E reported a 60% cut in methane emissions from its natural-gas pipeline system versus a 2015 baseline in its 2025 CPUC filing.
- The result surpasses California’s 2025 utility target of 20% below 2015 levels, beating PG&E’s voluntary 2030 goal of 45%.
- Progress followed a 52% reduction reported for 2024, supported by faster repairs of high-emitting leaks and expanded mobile detection.
- PG&E also reduced transmission blowdown emissions through project bundling and equipment changes to limit released gas volumes.
- The methane program supports PG&E’s target for a net-zero greenhouse-gas energy system by 2040, climate- and nature-positive by 2050.
