Natural gas system decarbonization and adaptation require a strategic approach to meet the needs of your customers while also responding to the energy transition. While electrification offers many solutions for electric utilities when they consider decarbonizing their energy systems, gas distribution pipeline owners will have to weigh the alternative options to pure natural gas, focusing on timing, cost implications, infrastructure and regulation. Early planning can enable organizations to take advantage of the opportunities in energy transition while mitigating costs and reducing barriers to conversions to clean fuels.
