Our innovation, research & development, leadership & partnerships, are instrumental in helping us drive advancements that can bolster our long-term objective of advancing decarbonization.
The path to decarbonization requires research, development and innovation in the energy sector. Our cross-functional Fueling the Future of Innovation Council engages employees in training, ideation and other improvement challenges to creatively drive sustainability results and solve business problems. In addition to our company-led efforts, our parent company Southern Company Gas, also engage in meaningful partnerships to advance clean energy and climate technology.
Investing in Technology
Leak Detection & Repair
Our proactive approach to leak detection employs advanced leak detection technologies such as drones, stationary monitors and artificial intelligence-enabled cloud computing platforms like Urbint. Through our parent company Southern Company Gas, we are a sponsor of GTI Energy’s Veritas effort aimed at creating technical protocols to assist in developing measurement-informed emission inventories. Leak detection and repairs are critical to reaching our sustainability goals and keeping our communities and team members safe.
Cross Compression
Advancing decarbonization requires innovation at every step of our operations. We use cross compression technology to capture and reuse natural gas during maintenance activities—preventing gas loss and improving efficiency. This approach helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions while providing a safe, reliable and scalable alternative to venting or flaring.
