The case for natural gas
• America's natural gas utilities
have a proven track record
of providing safe, reliable
and affordable energy
America's natural gas is
essential for achieving a
net-zero carbon emissions
energy future
•
Our industry is committed
to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions through smart
innovation, new and
modernized infrastructure,
and advanced technologies
100+
years
The U.S. has 3,368 Tcf of
future natural gas supply,
more than 100 years worth¹
$1,068
U.S. households using natural
gas for heating, cooking and
clothes drying, rather than
electricity, save an average of
$1,068 per year¹
The U.S. natural gas
transmission and distribution
system (2.6M miles of
underground pipeline) is the
safest and most reliable way
to deliver energy¹
Forced electrification could
cause the average U.S.
household's energy-related
costs to increase by
$700-$900 per year²
92%
efficient
Direct use of natural gas is a more
efficient energy: 92% vs 38% for
generation from converting natural
gas or other fossil fuels to electricity¹
≪
The cost of electrification to
the U.S. economy through
2035 is $590B-$1.2T²
