Supporting Our Wildlife
It takes a lot of energy to maintain the habitats at the Georgia Aquarium, the largest aquarium in North America. As the first Greener Life for Business partner, the Aquarium has been able to share GNG’s message of greener options and carbon offset opportunities with millions of guests every year. GNG also developed new interactive games to educate visitors on sea otters – and their pivotal role in protecting carbon-reducing kelp forests.

Greener Life is now enhanced with Certified Low Emissions gas. Greener Life customers like you are already making the natural gas usage in their homes carbon neutral. But now, you have another reason to feel better about your carbon footprint. With the benefits of Certified Low Emissions gas, you are reducing your carbon footprint where the gas is produced, too. GNG takes our environmental stewardship seriously. That’s why we’re proud to add this new benefit to our Greener Life program at no additional cost to you.
What is Certified Low Emissions gas?
Certified Low Emissions natural gas is responsibly sourced from companies who use low emissions processes to produce natural gas. Certified natural gas producers have their facilities audited by independent experts who make sure producers’ methane emissions are below specified levels and that they use industry best practices to minimize methane leakage and limit environmental impact.
Georgia Natural Gas partners with MiQ, a not-for-profit organization that is one of the leading certifiers of natural gas. MiQ’s Methane Standard has been adopted by some of the world’s biggest natural gas producers. To determine the methane emissions performance of facilities where natural gas is produced, MiQ uses a grading method that is transparent, robust and based on data. Independent auditors perform assessments of producer facilities.
The greenhouse gas emissions being offset by this Greener Life service are those associated with the combustion of natural gas at the point of consumption only, and do not include lifecycle emissions that occur during extraction, production, or delivery.
†Greener Life customers used 77,858,616 therms of natural gas in the aggregate during the period from 09/29/2019 until 03/17/2026. GNG retired an equivalent number of pounds of carbon equivalent (CO2e) offsets. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency provides a greenhouse gas equivalencies calculator to convert greenhouse gas emission numbers into different types of equivalent units. GNG uses similar calculations to convert the volume of CO2e used by Greener Life customers to the number pounds of CO2e offsets retired. For approximations, go to the Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator page for more information.
