Natural gas pipelines help clear the air
Huge reductions in air emissions occur when new, natural gas pipelines get built to replace heavier fossil fuels, such as oil and diesel fuel used in power plants and by industries.

Rosarito
Sempra Pipelines & Storage finished a 23-mile natural gas pipeline from San Diego to a major power plant in Rosarito, Baja California, Mexico.

Since then, that oil-fueled power plant has shifted much of its fuel use to clean-burning natural gas.

Pipeline to cleaner air
As a result of the Rosarito pipeline project, and Sempra Energy's delivery of natural gas to homes and businesses in Mexicali, Mexico, the company greatly reduced air emissions in Baja California. These air-emissions reductions, if achieved in the United States, would provide enough air-emissions offsets to allow for building 11 standard, natural gas-fueled power plants.

Cleaner choice
Bringing natural gas fuel to towns that have used diesel, fuel oil and propane for energy also helps greatly reduce air emissions.

Energy for two nations
Sempra Pipelines & Storage is building new, natural gas distribution utilities in both the United States and in Mexico that will allow homes and businesses to use this environmentally cleaner choice to diesel, fuel oil and propane.
