| Program | Brief Description |
| Program I: Lower Carbon Technology Studies | Support studies to assess the emissions reduction potential and feasibility in the District of the following technologies and solutions: • Networked geothermal • Sewage heat recovery • Carbon capture • Hybrid heating • In-District biomethane resources |
| Program II: Expedited Consideration for Biomethane Infrastructure | Adopt a procedural process framework that will allow Washington Gas to propose and develop infrastructure necessary to interconnect biomethane production to the distribution system |
| Program III: Carbon Neutral Credits | Allow Washington Gas to procure carbon credits to offset Scope 3 combustion emissions. |
| Program IV: Enhance Emissions Reporting Transparency and Accuracy | Require natural gas competitive service providers (“CSPs”) and Washington Gas to report to the Commission the known emissions intensity of their supplies of certified gas and biomethane as well as the volume and type of carbon credits procured to offset customer emissions. |
