Kimmeridge Texas Gas and Kimmeridge-backed Commonwealth LNG have committed to an independent certification as part of achieving operational net-zero emissions in the companies’ natural gas sector, Kimmeridge announced Nov. 1.
The guidance provided by MiQ, a leader in emissions certification, will support Kimmeridge’s initiative to deliver “wellhead-to-water” gas that is net-zero on Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse-gas emissions.
The MiQ standard is used in about 20% of U.S. natural gas production.
Commonwealth LNG is developing a natural gas liquefication and export terminal in the Calcasieu Ship Channel near Cameron, Louisiana, and expects to reach final investment decision (FID) in the first half of 2025.
Both companies will work with MiQ to obtain certification. The process involves an audit of Kimmeridge’s and Commonwealth’s operations, with an emphasis on methane emissions, according to the announcement.
Following Commonwealth’s FID, Kimmeridge will undertake a reforestation project in Louisiana.
"Our commitment to seeking MiQ certification for our gas production underscores the critical importance we place on verifying every step of the natural gas value chain,” said Dave Lawler, Kimmeridge CEO.
