Wild West or emerging market? Certified natural gas gains steam in the US

With investors, importers, and the public paying more attention to greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel production, US natural gas producers have increasingly turned to third-party certifiers to attest that they are responsible operators. Wyoming gas producer PureWest Energy has been on the forefront of the emerging certified gas market, having certified 100% of its production through Project Canary and as a founding member of the Differentiated Gas Coordinating Council. PureWest CEO Chris Valdez joins S&P Global Commodity Insights' Kelsey Hallahan to share his insights on the development of a certified gas market and the state of emissions transparency in the US gas industry. Afterward, SPGCI senior emissions analyst Emmanuel Corral and low carbon pricing analyst Hope Raymond share some key highlights from a new report on this emerging market. Learn more about the market origins of certified gas, the current state of affairs, and where it could go from here with SPGCI's Producer Certified Gas Special Report .
