Here are some highlights from SJI’s 2022 report:
The Environment
At SJI, we are committed to advancing positive environmental outcomes. In 2022, we expanded on our commitment to reduce emissions, increased our investments in cleaner energy, and advocated for environmental protection and land restoration, making efficient energy accessible to our customers and community.
- Catamaran Renewables, a partnership between SJI’s Marina Energy and energy investor Captona, currently operates several fuel cell projects producing 12.5 megawatts of electricity. Catamaran is also evaluating other fuel cell opportunities in the Northeast.
- SJI’s clean energy development subsidiary SJI Renewable Energy Ventures, in partnership with energy logistics and development expert REV LNG LLC, expanded its renewable natural gas portfolio at large dairy farms throughout the United States with early development of more than 20 projects. These projects support approximately 2.7M MMBtu of RNG Production and will enter commissioning phases throughout 2023 and 2024, with additional projects anticipated to enter the construction phase during the period.
- Marina Energy expanded on its commitment to reduce emissions by adding four on-site net metered solar locations, bringing the total installed capacity of the solar portfolio to 4.2 MW. These additional solar projects at both South Jersey Gas and Elizabethtown Gas facilities, as well as SJI’s Corporate office have reduced the company’s overall carbon footprint.
- In addition to the projects at SJIEE, South Jersey Gas continued the design and construction of a green hydrogen project at the South Jersey Gas New Sentury Compression Station.
