Feb 20, 2025 · MiQ has pioneered the use of independently certified gas (ICG) to provide the data needed to drive change on global methane emissions. Any accredited, independent auditing firm can use our standard to provide an honest, data-led grade, allowing higher and lower emissions gas to be identified across the supply chain – incentivising improvement ...

MiQ certified gas provides natural gas buyers with greater transparency on methane emissions so they can better understand what they’re buying and the impact it is having on the planet. With certified gas, buyers can choose lower emissions natural gas which can help with:

The MiQ Standard is a standalone framework to assess the methane emissions intensity and carbon (CO2e) intensity at the asset level from each stage of the natural gas supply chain and some stages of the crude oil and natural gas liquids supply chain.

MiQ has pioneered the use of Independently Certified Gas (ICG) to accelerate the wholesale reduction of methane emissions across the natural gas supply chain. We are working with the world’s biggest oil and gas producers to provide the data to drive change.

MiQ Certification helps gas buyers better understand what they’re buying and the impact it is having on the planet. Our A-F grading provides the transparency that buyers and their consumers demand. Creating a data-led grading means buyers can choose between higher emissions and lower emissions gas, which is already incentivising improvement.

The MiQ-Highwood Index will allow governments, civil society, and certified gas operators to benchmark methane emissions performance more accurately. The index can be used to identify opportunities for emission reductions and help substantiate climate and ESG goals.

LONDON (March 21, 2023) – MiQ, the global non-profit leader in methane emissions certification, today launched the world’s first certification program that enables a complete assessment of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the liquified natural gas (LNG) supply chain.

MiQ Certification helps gas buyers better understand what they’re buying and the impact it is having on the planet. Our A-F grading provides the transparency that buyers and their consumers demand, as everyone works to protect the planet.

Assessing methane emissions across the natural gas supply chain. MiQ’s Certified Supply Chain assesses data points across the whole supply chain, from wellhead to midstream to LNG regasification, providing the sector with the data it needs to act on emissions.

Compared to the US national average established by the MiQ-Highwood Index, a certified natural gas supply chain could reduce overall lifecycle GHG emissions from ammonia by approximately 15% for traditional SMR production and well over 50% for blue ammonia.
