Introduction

To help meet its clean energy goals, California is exploring strategic decommissioning of the state’s gas distribution pipelines. The state seeks to prioritize community interests and needs with a focus on equitable and just outcomes while also considering safety needs and complex logistics. To understand and balance these needs, the California Energy Commission funded the Mindful Gas Decommissioning team to develop an interactive tool to assess the 100,000 miles of gas distribution pipelines throughout the state.
