We are committed to safeguarding our global environment for future generations and are dedicated to reducing our own greenhouse gas emissions.

We are following a number of initiatives to reduce our emissions, including:

• continuing our 30 year UK programme to replace old iron gas distribution mains with polyethylene pipes to reduce methane leakage;
• looking at installing electricity generation equipment at some of our pressure reduction installations to recover some of the energy lost through gas pressure reduction;
• changing our gas transmission compressor sites to run more cleanly;
• continuing to reduce the leakage of sulphur hexaflouride (SF6)from our electrical switchgear;
• addressing the emissions of our newly acquired generation facilities on Long Island; and
• remaining focused on reducing our own emissions well ahead of government targets, through initiatives such as setting internal carbon budgets.
