SJI revealed its a comprehensive clean energy plan, including a timeline to achieve carbon-neutral operations, as part of a commitment to sustainability.

In 2020, SJI formed a Clean Energy and Sustainability team with the ambitious goal of achieving operational carbon neutrality by the year 2040. Through a new series of sustainability initiatives, SJI plans to reach that goal by eliminating its own carbon footprint and significantly reducing its 700,000+ utility customers' fossil fuel consumption.

Included in the plans, is investment into green hydrogen and high-efficiency fuel cell technologies. 

SJI recently entered a partnership with Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind to create a green hydrogen pilot program in conjunction with their bid for a wind farm off the coast of southern New Jersey. In addition the company formed Catamaran Renewables, a joint renewable energy investment venture with Captona, and acquired 7.5 MW in high-efficiency fuel cell systems, with additional projects in development.
