Methane Criteria for Differentiated Natural Gas

Methane emissions are the primary focus of stakeholder interest and a priority topic for differentiating natural gas production performance. Natural gas producers are developing differentiated natural gas products with specific methane performance, and in some cases, additional environmental and social criteria. While the number of transactions for differentiated natural gas products continues to grow, methane emissions and performance are evaluated differently under various methodologies, certification programs, and transactions.

This paper details recommendations by the Natural Gas Supply Collaborative (NGSC) for methane criteria in differentiated natural gas markets. With these recommendations, NGSC seeks to support transparency and continued development of differentiated gas markets
