Kinder Morgan, Southwestern Energy strike RSG strategic agreement

Kinder Morgan and Southwestern Energy Company subsidiary Tennessee Gas Pipeline have initiated a responsibly sourced natural gas (RSG) strategic agreement that seeks to
reduce methane emissions.

The agreement would have impact across the natural gas value chain via receiving and transporting RSG to market in the Northeast.

“We are pleased to be part of this agreement focused on providing this lower-carbon fuel to the Northeastern United States,” Kinder Morgan’s President of Natural Gas Pipelines Tom Martin said. “This is one of several RSG initiatives currently underway at Kinder Morgan and aligns with our commitment to minimize methane emissions associated with the production, transportation, storage and distribution of natural gas.”

RSG is natural gas produced from a natural gas well and transported by companies independently verified as meeting varied environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards.

Southwestern Energy President and CEO Bill Way said the company believes responsibly sourced gas is foundational to a low carbon future.

“This innovative agreement with Kinder Morgan to deliver responsibly sourced energy to customers in the Northeast is evidence of our commitment to help bring about that future,” he said. “We have been first movers in the RSG market, announcing earlier this year the certification and continuous monitoring of our entire existing and future Appalachia portfolio. This strategic agreement builds on that initiative and continues our efforts to provide cleaner energy to customers across the United States and beyond.”
