Downstream Natural Gas Initiative

The Downstream Natural Gas Initiative (DSI) is a group of leading North American natural gas utilities collaborating to address the role of natural gas local distribution companies (LDCs) in the transition to a low-carbon future. DSI is focused on opportunities to leverage the existing natural gas distribution infrastructure to support near- and long-term environmental and economic goals. DSI is also focused on opportunities to decarbonize natural gas through increasing supply of renewable natural gas (RNG), including waste sources, hydrogen, and power-to-gas, in collaboration with other market participants, as well as reducing methane emissions.

DSI focuses on the role of natural gas distribution utilities and the gas distribution network in the transition to a low-carbon future. DSI will concentrate on the following priorities:

• Advancing a long-term vision and related strategies for the role of natural gas LDCs in reducing GHG emissions for a low-carbon future

• Increasing support for and awareness of near-term RNG market supply and longer-term opportunities related to hydrogen and synthetic natural gas

• Engaging with large industrial natural gas consumers to develop low-carbon solutions

• Accelerating energy efficiency of gas-fired end uses

• Furthering best management practices to reduce methane emissions from natural gas distribution systems
