MGE TARGETING NET-ZERO METHANE EMISSIONS FROM NATURAL GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

Building upon MGE's long-standing commitment to providing affordable, sustainable energy, Madison Gas and Electric has set a goal to achieve net-zero methane emissions from its natural gas distribution system by 2035. The goal builds on the company’s existing sustainability and clean energy goals.

MGE completed an in-depth analysis and inventory of all its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with its electric generation and distribution, purchase and distribution of natural gas, and other sources. Methane, which is a primary component of natural gas, is more than 25 times as potent as carbon dioxide. It can be emitted during the production, transmission and distribution of natural gas.
