休斯顿和丹佛，2021年4月19日 / 3BL Media / - NextDecade Corporation（NextDecade）（NASDAQ：NEXT）和Canary项目今天宣布，成立了一个共同的监视，报告和独立的第三方测量和认证的联合试点项目greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to be sold from NextDecade’s Rio Grande LNG export facility in the Port of Brownsville, Texas.

Project Canary专注于提供独立，可信赖的连续排放监视数据和相关技术，以评估整个能量价值链中的环境绩效。在全球液化天然气行业的第一个飞行员项目中，Canary Project Canary将部署其Trustwell™认证流程，以确认天然气价值链的每个要素（从Rio Grande LNG的船上到船）的每个元素都达到了低排放目标并利用了环境绩效和社会责任的最高标准。这种合作伙伴关系将使二叠纪盆地和Eagle Ford页岩中的领先生产商以及LNG温室气体强度的独立第三方认证的领先生产商的负责任的天然气供应链能够开发。

“ NextDecade致力于与寻求为Rio Grande LNG提供负责任的天然气提供的可持续生产商合作。”NextDecade的董事长兼首席执行官Matt Schatzman。“ Canary Project的独立测量和认证平台将为我们的客户提供透明度，并为越来越致力于确保低温温室燃气密集型LNG的客户提供信心。可靠，竞争性的液化天然气和负责任的环境管理并非互斥，我们很高兴与Project Canary合作，为全球市场提供低GHG LNG的新标准，以建立新的和更高的标准。”
