In addition to the inventory of waste streams in #2 in my earlier
comments, I would suggest an inventory of state government fuel
consumption by type and location. Combined with an inventory of
state organic waste streams, by type and location, you may find
yourselves with an interesting opportunity to provide a key
component of moving RNG projects forward - predictability.

The state of California could be in a unique position to supply
feed-stock for biogas production from its own organic waste
streams, and off take commitments for gas and other clean
by-products by directing that state bodies utilize RNG for vehicle
fuel, or other uses like RNG-powered electricity generation and
soil amendments to stabilize land post-wildfire or other soil
replenishment uses. Wielding these tools in combination may let the
state encourage biogas production by creating certainty of both
supply and demand for prospective producers. Incentives can be
built into one or both ends of the process if needed, but providing
both committed supply and demand would remove a significant
obstacle to attracting private capital to the biogas production
arena.
