"From gathering to processing to transmission, bringing these high standards to the Midstream sector represents a key opportunity for the gas industry to cut emissions further and accurately assess environmental performance."

Project Canary's Midstream growth represents a key step in pushing towards a cleaner and more responsible energy future at the forefront of the measurement economy. After success with Upstream, Project Canary is broadening towards segment-by-segment decarbonization of the energy sector. This whole-industry approach to the energy value chain is a key differentiator for the company and a single source of certification for their customers.
