PGW upgrades infrastructure to trim a fraction of climate pollution

Original: PGW upgrading infrastructure to cut a small fraction of its climate pollution

Philadelphia Gas Works is carrying out infrastructure upgrades intended to reduce a small share of its greenhouse gas emissions. The utility's climate impact stems largely from the gas it delivers, so the reported cuts address only a minor fraction of its overall pollution footprint. The move highlights the wider tension between maintaining a gas utility and meeting city climate goals.

Why now: PGW's role in Philadelphia's climate targets makes even partial emissions reductions a talking point.
