Atmos said that the move to join ONE Future mirrors its commitment to responsible and sustainable practices in its natural gas distribution businesses, as well as pipeline and storage operations.

Atmos Energy president and CEO Kevin Akers said: “Atmos Energy is proud to join the other members of ONE Future in demonstrating our commitment to the environment and the long-term sustainability of natural gas as a vital energy resource.

“We are dedicated to identifying operational and technological solutions that drive continuous improvement as we work to achieve our target of a 50% reduction in methane emissions from our natural gas distribution system by 2035.”

Atmos Energy added that it is committed to measure and report emissions and tracking the progress of its responsible and sustainable practices that confirm with ONE Future protocols.
