Help Clean Air Council fight for lower methane emissions with a new Philadelphia Gas Works.

The City of Philadelphia can’t reach its climate goals without ending Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW), the city’s gas utility, use of fossil gas (more commonly and erroneously known as “natural gas”). Methane, the main component of fossil gas, leaks at every step of production, transportation, and distribution and fuels the climate crisis by creating ideal atmospheric conditions for extreme heat and dangerous storms. Every time a new building is fitted with gas hook-ups or new gas heaters, Philadelphia’s climate goals become less attainable, and the city is locked into decades more fossil gas dependence. The future is in renewable energy, and PGW must evolve into a sustainable energy utility that no longer uses fossil gas.

The Council needs your help today to ramp up a new campaign to convince Philadelphia and PGW to prepare for the future and get off fossil fuels to avoid the worst effects of the climate crisis. Without your support, this new campaign won’t get off the ground!
