NGIN submitted comments to the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) on its proposed rule “Reconsideration of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP)” — highlighting the need for credible, consistent, and transparent emissions data across the U.S. natural gas value chain.

NGIN recommends that EPA maintain Subpart W, which has become the central federal framework through which operators quantify and report emissions across the U.S. natural gas value chain.

The suspension of Subpart W reporting, without a consistent and credible alternative emissions data and reporting framework in place, could disrupt numerous U.S. global reaching commercial and regulatory processes that rely on the GHGRP reporting platform and its datasets.

If EPA should decide to reduce or eliminate mandatory reporting, NGIN recommends that it be predicated on the prior establishment of a market-driven, government recognized emissions data and reporting program – one which can credibly validate the emissions advantage of American energy resources, the progress of U.S. producers in reducing emissions, and strengthen American energy leadership abroad.

NGIN convened a high-level roundtable discussion, “The Role of Natural Gas in Powering AI and Meeting Domestic and Global Energy Demands.”

Led by NGIN Executive Director Brandon Mooney and Senior Advisor Robert Stout, the conversation brought together federal policymakers and business leaders to examine how policy, markets, and technology can align to strengthen America’s energy security, support the rapid growth of AI and digital infrastructure, and ensure the U.S. meets both domestic and global energy needs.

The dialogue highlighted the essential role of natural gas in enabling innovation while balancing reliability, affordability, and sustainability.
