Identifying pathways to Net Zero
A new landmark study analyzing Southern Company Gas reveals use of natural gas and the company's infrastructure are foundational to reaching a net-zero, clean energy future with greatest consumer affordability.
Resources
Resources that follow the work we’re doing to build a cleaner, more sustainable future and corporate social responsibility reports.
Everyone deserves energy that is not only clean, but also safe, reliable and affordable. The best approach to achieving this is an “all of the above” energy strategy that capitalizes on the unique benefits gas, renewables, nuclear power and negative carbon initiatives each respectively provide and uses them at the appropriate time.
It's a mission we've already started. In the past two decades, we mitigated more than 3.3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent from the atmosphere. These reductions are the result of aggressive investment, like pipeline replacement, to improve the safety and performance of our natural gas system.
Clean
Natural gas provides environmental benefits: increased use gas can help address several environmental concerns simultaneously, including smog, acid rain and greenhouse gas emissions.
Safe
Safety is and always will be the number one priority for the natural gas industry. Any natural gas incident, no matter the size, is one incident too many.
Reliable
Regardless of the weather, you can depend on your natural gas utility to bring you America's best energy value. The future supply of domestic natural gas continues to grow due to the emergence and advancement of key technologies that unlock gas production from reservoirs such as shale formations.
Affordable
For many, wages have stayed the same and the cost of living continues to rise. That's why we're proactively working to make energy as affordable as possible for our customers.
