Virginia Natural Gas (VNG) is aiming to be the first natural gas utility in America to provide its customers with natural gas that is 100% sourced, transported and distributed by companies that have pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to less than 1% across the natural gas value chain. VNG announced a deal to source a large percentage of its annual gas consumption from these companies starting this year.
VNG has begun purchasing 1/5 of its customers’ annual natural gas supply from select wells operated by Southwestern Energy (SWN). VNG and SWN are founding members of Our Nation’s Energy Future (ONE Future), a natural gas industry-led organization that is dedicated to voluntarily achieving meaningful reductions in methane emissions across the natural gas supply chain.
