Three Ways Midstream Operators Can Fuel the Energy Transition
The midstream oil and gas industry will play a central role in the energy transition. Operators have a unique opportunity to enable the shift to low-carbon energy by connecting new and emerging value chains. To do so profitably and sustainably, midstream players will need to adjust their mindset and leverage their infrastructure in new ways.
1. Enabling the use of renewable fuels. There’s still much to be learned about the project economics of transitioning to renewable fuels. However, midstream operators are actively testing these new business models and progress is being made. Williams, Enterprise, and ONEOK are already blending RNG – biogas sourced from dairy waste and water treatment facilities – into their natural gas streams, for example.
