Dominion Energy is partnering with America’s largest dairy and pork farms to convert methane from animal waste into clean-burning renewable natural gas that powers our daily lives. Their work will be equivalent to planting 50 million trees. #innovation #naturalgas #cleanenergyfuture #expandtheenergyconversation #gasiskey #gasisnow #energyawarenessmonth

Methane emissions from natural gas systems have fallen 73% since 1990 thanks to investments in newer, greener technologies. We can (and will) do even better. #innovation #naturalgas #cleanenergyfuture #expandtheenergyconversation #gasiskey #gasisnow #energyawarenessmonth

Renewable natural gas made from biomass waste like corn stacks and manure removes emissions up to 100%. In fact, it reduces emissions at every level, while powering our daily lives with clean, abundant fuel. #innovation #naturalgas #cleanenergyfuture #expandtheenergyconversation #gasiskey #gasisnow #energyawarenessmonth

Few technologies have made a bigger impact on the modern natural gas industry than horizontal drilling. By drilling horizontal pipelines from a single wellhead, we can access hard-to-reach pockets of natural gas, install pipe under challenging locations and reduce our surface footprint too. Horizontal drilling is paving the way to energy independence, proving historical milestones aren’t just in the past, but are still happening today.

Smart pigging, using EMAT non-destructive technology, is one of the biggest innovations of the past 20 years. These devices travel inside pipelines to detect minor dents, leaks, and anomalies, so we can address them before they become problems. This was a historic innovation for safety, productivity and performance.

Changing natural gas’ state of matter changed the game for the energy industry. Liquified natural gas (LNG), a process discovered by Michael Faraday in 1820, is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state, decreasing its volume by about 600 times from its gaseous state. This allows us to safely ship and store natural gas to places pipelines cannot reach.

Recycling as we know it today began in the 1970s but it isn’t just about paper and plastics — the natural gas industry is doing it too. Natural gas is 97% methane, and increasingly producers are capturing it from sources like farms, sewage plants and landfills. Repurposing emissions from waste as RNG is a historic milestone for our industry, nation, and world.

Five states — Texas, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Ohio — account for nearly 70% of the natural gas produced in the U.S. However, there are 35 natural gas-producing states total which produce almost all of the natural gas Americans use.

Following World War II, improvements in pipe-making techniques led to the construction of more natural gas pipelines. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, thousands of miles of pipelines were constructed throughout the United States. This expanded the use of natural gas to homes for heating and cooking, manufacturing and processing plants, and boilers to generate electricity.

1776 was an important year for our nation, and industry. In the U.S., Alessandro Volta, the father of the battery, first scientifically identified natural gas. In 1785, the British first began using natural gas commercially, as fuel for lamps. Finally, in 1821, William A. Hart drilled the first deep well to obtain natural gas in Fredonia, New York. Fredonia Gas Light Company would become the first natural gas company — paving the way for energy independence.

Natural gas is future-focused — but has its roots in ancient history. In 1000 BC, a goat herder discovered a burning natural gas seep on a mountain in Greece. Five-hundred years later, the Chinese innovatively used bamboo pipes to transport natural gas to boil sea water. Fast forward to today, the natural gas industry continues to push for new discoveries and innovate to a clean energy future.
