Our Mission
ONE Future’s mission is to ensure the future of natural gas as a long-term sustainable fuel source by reducing member companies’ combined ratio of methane emissions to natural gas produced to 1% or less.
Our Approach
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach for reducing emissions. Each ONE Future member has the flexibility to deploy their capital where it will be maximally effective in reducing emissions. Members agree to measure their emissions and track their progress over time according to uniform, EPA-approved reporting protocols using science-based technology and methods.

Continuously Improve
While our data demonstrates strong progress, we are focused on the future and committed to raising the bar even higher through further collaboration across the industry and investment in advanced detection, monitoring, and measurement technologies to track and eliminate more emissions than ever before.
Innovate
Through shared best practices and groundbreaking technologies, our member companies are innovating every day to reduce methane intensity and drive down emissions across the natural gas value chain.
Collaborate
ONE Future works alongside other organizations to advance methane management, including the EPA, DOE’s National Energy Technologies Lab, NGSI, GTI Energy, and more.
