According to Amy Andryszak, CEO and president of the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA), her organization, as is the natural gas industry as a whole, is âcommitted to building a cleaner energy future.â
Part of that commitment, she said, is for industry to work together toward reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas transmissions and storage operations by 2050.
âWe know that achieving this goal will require the aid of new, innovative technologies and a constructive energy policy framework,â Andryszak said, speaking at the annual State of the Energy Industry Forum, presented online by the United States Energy Association (USEA)

Carbon emissions may be falling but the clean energy transition journey is far from over, Edison Electric Institute (EEI) President Tom Kuhn said. EEI s members - US investor-owned electric companies - have committed to emissions reductions of up to 50% by 2030 and 80% by 2050, and those reductions need to be achieved while ensuring electricity supply is both reliable and affordable, he said.
API Provides âDose Of Energy Reality At USEA Forum
Today, American Petroleum Institute (API) President and CEO Mike Sommers gave remarks during the 17th Annual State Of The Energy Industry Forum, hosted by the U.S. Energy Association. Sommers outlined areas of common ground with President Biden while raising concerns that the new administration is on the “wrong side” of several consequential issues that will shape America’s energy future.
“We are rooting for President Biden to lead America out of crisis,” API President and CEO Mike Sommers said. “As he works toward that important goal, he faces clear choices. Energy abundance or foreign dependence. American jobs or overseas jobs. Economic revival or small-town decline. Progress or retreat. Thus far, President Biden is on the wrong side of a number of these consequential choices.”
