A Sustainable Future with Natural Gas

Moving forward together.

Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)

Humans and animals produce waste. RNG is a reliable carbon-neutral fuel source that has the vast potential to turn piles of waste into an energy source.

Hydrogen

As the most abundant elements in the universe, hydrogen is a plentiful energy source that can be blended with natural gas to fuel homes and businesses.

Natural Gas Vehicles

From fleets and light-duty vehicles to heavy-duty trucks, natural gas vehicles using compressed natural gas (CNG) can help provide a cleaner, more secure future.

You can help reduce your carbon footprint.

Benefits of Natural Gas

Clean

Natural gas is already clean and getting cleaner. It’s true, since our country started using increasing amounts of natural gas to generate electricity, fuel vehicles and provide the comforts of home, our air is cleaner too. Soon, renewable natural gas (RNG) and hydrogen, delivered to homes and businesses by the existing natural gas distribution system we have already invested in, will decarbonize the pipeline. Natural gas furnaces deliver warm air without the draftiness associated with an electric heat pump.

Affordable

Name one of the lowest utility bills you pay each month. Bet you said natural gas. Natural gas bills are commonly amongst the lowest utility bills businesses and homeowners pay each month. Abundantly available right here in the United States, natural gas in not only fueling energy independence, natural gas is leading the way for affordable energy.

Reliable

Natural gas is always there for you providing warmth, hot water, cooked meals and even the occasional evening around the fire pit. That’s because natural gas is available when the sun is not shining and wind is not blowing, making natural gas the ideal companion to other renewables.

America's natural gas system delivers 3X more energy on the coldest day of the year than the electric grid does on the hottest day, with plenty to spare.¹Learn more about how to convert your home or business to clean & affordable natural gas today.
