RESPONSIBILITY

Environment

At National Gas, we care passionately about the environment. We strive to achieve minimal adverse environmental impacts across all our operations whilst also seeking ways to enhance the local environment.

Our environmental responsibilities

Gas is, and will be for decades to come, a major contributor to the blend of energy sources powering the UK. We want to play our part in helping the UK address its big climate challenges. But more than that, we’re eager to reduce the impact of our own operations on the environment while delivering positive benefits for the communities we serve.

As a business, we are committed to reaching net zero for our own carbon emissions by 2050, with an ambition of achieving net zero by 2040 – a decade ahead of the UK Government target​.

Transition to hydrogen

We are leading the way in decarbonising the UK energy network by supporting the transition to hydrogen. Find out more about our FutureGrid programme, which is testing NTS assets with hydrogen and blended gases, and our work on Project Union to build a new hydrogen transmission network for Great Britain.
