Many of our facilities are subject to annual emissions reporting of criteria and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) which result from our operations. Due to the inherently clean-burning nature of natural gas, the major reported emissions include NOx, carbon monoxide (CO), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and formaldehyde. Emissions of SO2 and particulate matter are relatively negligible..

This table provides a summary of our major reported emissions. These reported totals of our corporate-wide emissions equate roughly to potential NOx emissions from a 3,700-megawatt (MW) coal power plant.
