Despite its somewhat hazy parameters, the certified natural gas market could experience strong growth this year, according to experts. 

Dustin Meyer, vice president of Natural Gas Markets for the American Petroleum Institute (API), told NGI he sees a “quite profound” opportunity for certified, aka responsibly sourced gas (RSG), “because…it allows buyers and sellers in a credible way to develop means to ensure that gas really can be part of the low-carbon trajectories they’re on.”

The array of differentiated gas designations collectively could also be called environmental, social, and governance (ESG) gas, highlighting adherence to criteria by buyers and sellers. The differentiated gas is positioned to command a premium price to account for the ESG association.
