The Responsible Choice for Environmental Solutions
Natural gas is a clean-burning, domestic fuel
that emits about 50 percent less carbon dioxide than any other traditional energy source. Plus natural gas uses less total energy to fuel your home or business.
Clean Burning
Natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel, producing primarily carbon dioxide, water vapor and small amounts of nitrogen oxides.
Using natural gas addresses a number of environmental challenges simultaneously because natural gas emits fewer harmful pollutants known
to cause greenhouse gases, smog and acid rain. A home with natural gas appliances produces 45 percent less carbon dioxide emissions than
an all-electric home.

Efficient
Natural gas is also efficient. More than 90 percent of the energy in natural gas is delivered to customers compared to only about
30 percent of the energy used to make electricity. The 70 percent loss of energy occurs while generating, transmitting and distributing
electricity to your home.
