Natural Gas STAR Program epa.gov/gasstar

The Natural Gas STAR Program The Natural Gas STAR Program is a flexible, voluntary partnership between EPA and the oil and natural gas industry designed to cost-effectively reduce methane emissions from natural gas operations.

U.S. Industry Participation  113 Program Partners:  72% of transmission  29 Partners  59% of distribution  41 Partners  52% of production  30 Partners  75% of processing  13 Partners

Collaboration with Endorsers  IPAMS  New endorser - Welcome!  API  Committed to 100% member participation in Gas STAR.  Overall, 13 trade associations have formally endorsed the Natural Gas STAR Program.

 356 Billion cubic feet in reductions! Program Accomplishments

Methane Emissions from the U.S. Gas Industry Transmission & Storage 98 Bcf Production 95 Bcf Processing 36 Bcf Distribution 73 Bcf 31% 33% 12% 24%

Additional Reduction Opportunities Production Processing Transmission & Storage Distribution Emissions Reductions

Producer Sector Reductions  In 2003, producer Partners reduced approximately 24 Bcf  80% attributed to BMP 3 - Partner Reported Opportunities Producer Emission Reductions by BMP
