Williams Using Context Labs to Certify Responsible NatGas Delivery

Drillers have their certification schemes to prove the natural gas they extract is "responsible"--meaning most if not all of the methane doesn't leak as it's extracted (see Who Certifies Responsibly Sourced Gas (RSG) & How Does it Work?). It seems that pipeline companies are developing their own specific certification schemes to ensure natural gas handed off to them by drillers is delivered as responsibly as it's extracted out of the ground. That is, with little or no emissions escaping (like a fugitive) into the atmosphere where it supposedly warms the earth. Pipeline giant Williams announced yesterday it will use new technology developed by Context Labs to track and verify gas is responsible--from the wellhead to the customers who take delivery.
