U.S. natural gas producers like EQT Corp, Chesapeake Energy, and liquefied natural gas firms Cheniere Energy and NextDecade Corp, are considering developing “greener gas”, which would be “reasonably produced”, accredited by environmental groups, and sold at 5% above market value, reports Reuters.
Gas producers hope raising environmental standards will help them maintain business with European buyers, who are increasingly preferring natural gas produced with minimal emissions.
