Certified gas
The transition to a world powered by clean energy will take time. Until then, cutting avoidable methane emissions from oil and gas is one of the fastest, most cost-effective ways to reduce climate pollution.
We have established a transparent, robust data-informed grading method to certify natural gas according to its methane emissions.
Independent auditing firms that have proven expertise apply our standard to assess performance, providing trusted data needed to inform future and ongoing reduction efforts. The International Energy Agency (IEA) ‘Prospects for Natural Gas Certification’ report highlights the vital role certified gas can play in reducing methane emissions.
Driven by innovative technology
We have established an industry-leading, independently audited and market-proven certification system to grade natural gas and oil on methane emissions.
Our standard encourages a wide range of cutting-edge methane detection and abatement technologies.
Globally applicable yet granular
Emissions don’t happen in isolation and the world needs end-to-end understanding of how and when they happen, including when gas travels across oceans.
Our certification system covers the full natural gas supply chain, allowing natural gas buyers to assess methane emissions from start to finish. We also certify at the asset level to provide a clear understanding of where and how emissions occur in each part of the supply chain.
Digital Registry
The MiQ Digital Registry is the single, trusted record for all MiQ Certificates, tracking certified natural gas from production through to retirement.
This secure online ledger holds every MiQ Certificate from the moment it’s issued to retirement, creating complete transparency on methane emissions. It also prevents double-counting and ensures end users can confidently claim the environmental credentials for their GHG reporting.
Vital and immediate
Methane emissions are a major driver of climate change, with a global warming potential more than 80 times greater than CO2 over a 20-year time frame – meaning, the time to act is now.
The natural gas industry emits the equivalent of 7bn tonnes of CO2 per year – 7 times more than the global aviation sector.
We already have the technology to avoid around 70% of these emissions today, providing an opportunity to mitigate the worst effects of climate change.
