PITTSBURGH, June 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- EQT Corp. (NYSE: EQT) today announced that it has enhanced its commitment and leadership in reducing methane emissions by joining the Oil & Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 Initiative. "Reducing methane emissions is a foundational component of our mission to be the operator of choice for all of our stakeholders, a responsibility we embrace as the country's largest producer of natural gas," said Toby Z. Rice, President and CEO of EQT. "Natural gas is capable of playing a key role in accelerating a sustainable path to a low carbon future, both domestically and abroad. To position natural gas as a decarbonizing commodity of choice, however, it is incumbent on industry participants to embrace a modernized approach that deploys best available technology for emissions measurement and management." Rice continued, "By participating with global leaders in the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership, we are committing to fostering a methane detection monitoring and reporting regime that moves beyond desktop emissions estimates to one that harnesses the latest monitoring technologies. Transparently demonstrating differentiated emissions impact and reduction is a core financial priority for our company to de-risk long-term demand, increase access to domestic and global markets, and attract premium sales opportunities. To achieve this level of transparency, we must build stakeholder confidence through more accurate emissions data from real world emissions surveys." "Tackling methane represents an opportunity for the United States to develop increased global climate, geopolitical and economic influence, leveraging the technological skills and leadership of our industry to capture greater global LNG market share." "Later this month, we will be announcing our net zero and other emissions reduction targets and detailing the steps we will take along the way. We believe these targets will be industry-leading, the achievement of which will represent a significant milestone in the continuing evolution of our company." OGMP 2.0 Initiative The second phase of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition's Oil & Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP 2.0) of the United Nations Environment Programme aims to drive deep reductions in methane emissions over the next decade. OGMP 2.0 brings together industry participants representing over 30% of oil and gas production globally, NGOs and government representatives with the goal of enhancing robust methane emissions monitoring and credible reporting. Among other things, the OGMP 2.0 framework calls for specific methane emissions reduction targets in line with the Paris Agreement goals that are underpinned by programs leveraging source-level and site-level monitoring.
