The sum of our efforts
01
1.8M

Metric tons of CO₂e reduced since our 2021restated baseline, thanks largely to our POTF and leak detection programs.

02
75%

Reduction achieved at 2024 pilot sites with refined pad-level alarm thresholds, in collaboration with Project Canary.

03
12,000+

Solar-powered pumps and panels installed to eliminate methane from natural gas pneumatic controllers.

04
97%

Average uptime Barnett Zero achieved in its first year, demonstrating reliable, continuous carbon sequestration.

05
139K

Metric tons of CO₂e eliminated in 2024 by our transition to compressed air systems for natural gas-powered pneumatics.

06
100%

Portion of BKV-operated pneumatics in our NEPA operations converted to compressed air through the POTF program, mitigating methane emissions.

Charting a course to net zero
YE2021

1.6 Mtpy-CO₂
At the beginning of our emissions-reduction journey, we set a baseline for BKV-operated upstream and midstream GHG emissions.

RS2021

2.81 Mtpy-CO₂e
We established a new projected GHG baseline on 7/1/22 due to the acquisition of Exxon Barnett upstream and midstream assets.

YE2022

2.15 Mtpy-CO₂e
Through the implementation of our Pad of the Future program, we achieved a reduction of 23% in GHG emissions.

YE2023

1.66 Mtpy-CO₂e
Due to our continued commitment to the Pad of the Future and other emissions-reduction programs, overall GHG emissions were reduced by over 38% from our restated baseline in 2021.

YE2024

1.04 Mtpy-CO₂e
Through targeted initiatives like Pad of the Future and LDAR, we reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 63% since our 2021restated baseline.

YE2025

By combining advanced technologies, our comprehensive 4-tiered emissions monitoring system and Pad of the Future program, we aim to achieve a projected reduction of 6% in GHG emissions.
