Our initial aspirational goal of net zero GHG emissions by 2025 was not met. Our plan to use renewable natural gas from local dairy farm digesters as a replacement for fossil NG was not economically feasible. High demand by Califormia's low carbon fuel standards artificially and greatly increaed the price of this commodity. We are currently working on alternative plans.
