Given the prominence of beef in our diets and cultures, humankind probably won’t curb its consumption anytime soon in a way that results in a major drop in methane emissions. However, there are some creative and productive solutions for mitigating the environmental impact of cattle. One involves harnessing their prodigious digestive systems to turn out another source of energy—a source capable of supplying millions of cubic feet per day of natural gas to vehicles, homes, and businesses, not unlike a gas field trapped deep beneath the Earth’s surface.

Great Lakes Gas Transmission is a 2,115-mile (3,404-km) natural gas pipeline system that transports Canadian natural gas to the U.S. Midwest.

Operations employees are on the ground each day to ensure natural gas keeps flowing through our infrastructure around the clock and in all weather conditions. With safety at the forefront, natural gas field technicians across our footprint are our unsung heroes with a variety of job duties that vary day by day – requiring skilled and adaptable personnel. The field technician role is experienced across our footprint with their own North American viewpoint. 

Iroquois is a 414-mile (666-km) interstate natural gas pipeline system that extends from the Canadian border to Commack and the Bronx, NY.

Take a closer look at maps of our North American natural gas operations.

With more than 30 storage locations in four states, Columbia Gas Transmission Storage has enough capacity to handle almost 630 billion cubic feet of natural gas.

The 295-mile (475-km) Portland Natural Gas Transmission System spans New England from the Canadian border to pipeline connections in New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts.

A proposed natural gas project would double the size of a pipeline that runs through Hampton Roads to accommodate the region’s growing demand. The Columbia Gas Transmission system runs from New York to the Midwest and Southeast. Virginia’s the southernmost of the 10 states it touches. But Virginia Natural Gas says the pipeline infrastructure is outdated and can’t keep up...
