Virginia Natural Gas and Chattanooga Gas, subsidiaries of Southern Company Gas, have expanded their clean energy initiatives by completing new renewable natural gas $(RNG)$ purchases. These transactions contribute to reducing lifecycle emissions by an estimated 18,978 metric tons of CO₂e, comparable to the carbon sequestered by 19,036 acres of U.S. forests annually. The RNG is sourced from facilities in Texas and is part of the subsidiaries' efforts to integrate sustainable fuel into their portfolios. RNG, derived from methane emissions from landfills, agricultural waste, wastewater, and food waste, is compatible with existing natural gas infrastructure, facilitating a smoother transition to cleaner energy. This move aligns with Southern Company Gas's commitment to achieving net-zero direct greenhouse gas emissions from operations by 2050.
