The Natural Gas Supply Collaborative (NGSC) is a voluntary collaborative of natural gas purchasers advancing the national discussion related to the environmental and social performance of natural gas production. Natural gas plays a vital role in the U.S. energy mix. This abundant domestic resource currently provides significant economic and environmental benefits to customers in the electric power, residential, industrial, and commercial sectors and across the U.S. economy as a whole. At the same time, electric generators and natural gas utilities face questions from the public, regulators, investors, and other stakeholders concerning natural gas production. NGSC provides members a platform to engage with natural gas producers and marketers, technology vendors, third-party certification frameworks, environmental organizations, and other key stakeholders around these key issues. As such, NGSC has established a leadership position in advancing market opportunities to recognize the environmental and social attributes of natural gas supply.
Key Focus Areas:
- Advance the understanding of the differentiated natural gas market;
- Explore approaches to quantify GHG emissions from the natural gas supply chain, including the impacts of certified natural gas, renewable natural gas, and hydrogen;
- Engage with key stakeholders;
- Evaluate natural gas producer voluntary disclosures relative to the NGSC environmental and social performance indicators, with a focus on the methane and GHG performance; and
- Provide strategic intelligence, including market, technology, and regulatory developments.
