Emissions and environment
No
The safe delivery of affordable, reliable natural gas is key to America’s energy future. So we’re focused on key initiatives like pipeline upgrades, energy efficiency programs and other sustainable practices that help us reduce our environmental impact.
Modernizing pipeline infrastructure
Upgrading aging infrastructure increases safety while reducing methane emissions
and leaks across our distribution system.

Reducing methane emissions
Since 2005, we've reduced methane emissions from gas utilities (mains and services) by more than 51%, and by 2035, we're targeting a cumulative 73% reduction in emissions.

Preventing pipeline damage
We have a comprehensive damage prevention program to educate stakeholders about the importance of calling 811 before digging projects begin to prevent accidental damage to our pipeline system. (Reporting period: Oct. 1, 2023 - Sep. 30, 2024)
Saving energy and money
Through energy-efficiency programs, customers have access
to the resources they need to make more energy-efficient choices
for their homes and businesses—ultimately leading to lower
greenhouse gas emissions.

Weatherization
We offer no-cost support to help customers on a fixed or limited income weatherize their homes. A weatherized home can reduce the average annual fuel usage by 35%.
Partnering for the future
With a firm belief that natural gas is a key part of a sustainable energy future,
we're stepping up to move our industry forward. This includes joining other
like-minded natural gas companies to collaborate and find solutions for further
reducing methane emissions.
ONE Future
By joining ONE Future, we're working together with a group of more than 50 natural gas producers, midstream operators and utilities to reduce methane emissions across the entire natural gas value chain.
Energy Capital Ventures
We're proud to be a founding limited partner of Energy Capital Ventures' new venture capital fund focused on driving natural gas innovation and research in clean energy solutions.
