INGAA Members Announce Emissions Progress in 2024 Climate Report

WASHINGTON, D.C., November 19, 2024 - The Interstate Natural GasAssociation of America (INGAA), a trade association representing the vast majority of the interstate natural gas transmission pipelinecompanies in the U.S. and Canada, published its 2024 Climate Report, which shows year-over-year progress in reducing methane emissions and improving methane intensity from the membership.

The 2024 Climate Report, which analyzes member data from 2022, shows reductions in both total methane and methane intensity by the INGAA membership, and highlights notable improvements in achieving INGAA's GHG Emissions Commitments.

"This year's Climate Report highlights our members' commitment to addressing their methane emissions, and shows those efforts are working," said Amy Andryszak, INGAA President & CEO. "The improvements highlighted in this report demonstrate the work INGAA members have undertaken for years to reduce methane emissions from their operations, demonstrating their ability to lower emissions while also delivering affordable, clean energysafely and reliably to the homes and businesses that rely on it."

Highlights from the Report:

• INGAA members achieved a methane intensity of 0.075% in 2022, improving from the prior year's intensity of 0.087%.
• More than 99.9% of natural gastransported through INGAA members' assets reached its intended destination.
• Total methane emissions from the INGAA membership in 2022 were 254,502 MT, an improvement of 17,081 MT from 2021, and represent only 1% of all methane emitted in the U.S. in 2022.
• INGAA members exceeded two of INGAA's GHG Emissions Commitments: conducting leak surveys and repairs on pipelines, and pipelineblowdowns.

"INGAA members have achieved this year-over-year improvement in greenhouse gasreductions by remaining committed to operational changes that reduce methane emissions and expand the use of innovative technologies," said INGAA's Vice President of Environment, Scott Yager. "This report demonstrates our members commitment to real, achievable emissions reductions solutions and environmental stewardship."
