Happy Holidays from INGAA & The INGAA Foundation, Inc. https://lnkd.in/eADP_FKv

Responding to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s report: Energy, Economic, and Environmental Assessment of U.S. LNG Exports, INGAA President & CEO Amy Andryszak says: "“The premise that exporting large volumes of U.S. LNG might cause domestic energy prices to increase assumes that there is neither sufficient natural gas nor the infrastructure necessary to transport the fuel around the country. We know that the U.S. has abundant natural gas, and the U.S. has roughly a decade of data reaffirming that increased exports of U.S. LNG to our allies and trading partners has not impacted prices for American consumers. In fact, a new study analyzing the impact of U.S. LNG on the domestic economy from S&P Global shows that continuing to export the fuel would have negligible impact on household natural gas costs.  But demand for natural gas is growing, both at home and internationally. To meet rising demand, we need to build additional infrastructure to transport gas from production basins to end users, be they residences, businesses, or our allies overseas in the form of LNG. “INGAA members are ready, willing, and able to build out additional pipeline infrastructure so that we can provide more gas to domestic consumers and support our allies abroad with American energy. We have proven for nearly a decade that we can and must do both, and we intend to continue to do so, in spite of this study.” https://lnkd.in/eM_fsDU2

In INGAA's latest blog pots, President & CEO Amy Andryszak calls out flawed claims in a recent study conducted by Rewiring America. "Ultimately, public sentiment continues to favor natural gas as a reliable and affordable energy option, in Republican and Democratic districts alike. Last month, Washington state voted to block a proposed ban on gas stoves. In Berkeley, California, voters rejected a ballot measure that would have increased taxes on property owners of large buildings that rely on natural gas for heating, cooking and other uses. Natural gas remains a cornerstone of America’s energy portfolio, delivering the affordability, reliability, and efficiency that families and businesses use every day. While bold claims about emissions reductions and cost savings may capture headlines, they must be evaluated against real-world data and consumer behavior." Read more: https://lnkd.in/eVbmMJDT

OneFuture recently released its seventh annual reporting of methane intensities, reporting a collective methane intensity for 2023 of 0.331%, significantly exceeding the 2025 goal and demonstrating a material decrease from the prior year. INGAA shares the missions of reducing emissions, and 18 members of INGAA are also members of OneFuture. This outcome highlights the commitment to continuous improvement and progress in reducing #methane emissions across the entire natural gas value chain. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eCSE_Haf

INGAA President & CEO Amy Andryszak spoke yesterday on the panel "Global Strategies from Producers: U.S. Leadership in Methane and Flaring Reduction Policies for a Sustainable Future" at the American Association of Blacks in Energy (AABE) 2024 Energy Policy Symposium alongside Uni Blake and Dr. Faye Gerard. During the panel, Amy spoke about the innovative technologies and approaches INGAA members are using to curb methane emissions while delivering affordable, reliable natural gas to the homes and businesses that use it.

When kids read, they succeed! That’s why INGAA is proud to join Everybody Wins DC for their Association Book Drive Challenge. This friendly competition among the greater association community will see who can donate the most books to EWDC for distribution to kids across the DC area. We are excited to help kids thrive through reading! EWDC uses books to help children build the skills needed to thrive in the classroom and in life. EWDC programs focus on literacy skill development, social-emotional learning, career exploration, and fostering a love of reading – all through the power of books!

The Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA) has released its latest climate report, showcasing progress in reducing emissions. The analysis conducted by Trinity Consultants showed that INGAA member companies, including Kinder Morgan, which account for over half of U.S. interstate pipeline throughput, have decreased their total methane emissions and emissions intensity from 2019 to 2022.

The INGAA Foundation is excited to announce the release of its newest best practices document: Practical Guide For Environmental Inspectors. The guide offers a new perspective in assessing and documenting construction activities as it relates to environmental and sensitive features in or near the construction area. It is intended to ensure pipeline-operator and construction-contractor compliance with permitting and landowner agreements. Special thanks to Michael Istre and Jiva Consulting for their work on this important guideline. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eZq--QCt

For the first time, INGAA's Climate Report shows that methane emissions, both in terms of absolute emissions and methane intensity decreased year over year from 2021 to 2022. Methane Intensity - 2021: 0.087 -> 2022: 0.075 Total Methane Emissions - 2021: 271,583 MT -> 2022: 254,502 MT Read more: https://lnkd.in/eYCR6UEE

Interstate Natural Gas Association of America's 2024 Climate Report shows that natural gas transmission pipeline companies are reducing methane emissions and improving methane intensity. Pipeline & Gas Journal has the story.   “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 energy safely and reliably to the homes and businesses that rely on it.” #emissionreduction #naturalgas #CleanEnergy #natgas #pipelines #methanereduction #naturalgasindustry #criticalinfrastructure #energy #pipeline #APCA https://lnkd.in/eFep8RXA
