City of Pleasanton <br /> GHG Analysis of Natural Gas Replacement with RNG <br /> 6. Cost of GHG savings is calculated as the cost difference divided by the total avoided CO2 emissions in Table 2. <br /> Note that the social cost of carbon increases over time as the impacts of climate change accumulates, <br /> increasing the stress on physical and economic systems. In 2050, the social cost of a MT of CO2 <br /> emissions is projected to be $310/MT CO2. Assuming the same quantity of gas needs of 121,665 therms <br /> in 2050, the cost of natural gas CO2 emissions is estimated to be $200,161 in addition the procurement <br /> price of natural gas at that time. As cost of RNG is anticipated to decrease over time as supply increases <br /> and the social cost of carbon increases, it will become increasingly more economical to replace natural <br /> gas consumption with RNG. <br /> If you have any questions regarding this analysis, please contact Erica Linard, Sustainability Project <br /> Manager, at 805-586-3183.Thank you for the opportunity to assist with this assignment. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> RincIon Consultants, Inc. <br /> G/✓f�� �L R'V Y4 <br /> Erica Linard, PhD Ryan Gardner, MESM, LEED AP, ENV-SP <br /> Sustainability Project Manager Director of Climate Action and Implementation <br /> Page 5 <br />
