Environment
Protecting - and improving - the environment is a top priority for natural gas and pipeline companies. Natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel used for power generation today. As demand for energy increases, expanded use of natural gas can help improve air quality across the country, especially when used to replace more polluting energy sources. Compared to other primary energy sources, natural gas emits significantly less atmospheric pollutants that threaten our planet – and the natural gas industry continues to invest in even cleaner burning technologies.
