As the United States continues to transition toward increased use of renewable energy, the American Pipeline Contractors Association (APCA) is encouraging policymakers to recognize the benefits of existing natural gas, as well as the need for a robust network of transmission and distribution pipelines to transport important renewable energy sources.

“We know there are three gases needed to reach America’s ambitious carbon reduction goals,” said Taylor Dacus of Troy Construction and APCA president. “First, we won’t get to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 without traditional natural gas. Second, environmental opportunities offered by renewable hydrogen are gaining more attention. Third, carbon dioxide (CO₂) can be captured at sources of emission and moved to where it can be put to industrial use or safety stored. However, all of these opportunities cannot be reached without dependable pipeline infrastructure to safety transport these critical gases.”
