Ask Environment

We work hard to reduce our day to day environmental impact whilst exploring innovative ways of transporting alternative clean, sustainable forms of gas, in the future.

Keeping the region cooking on gas is an energy intensive business and we are committed to being open and transparent about our impact including where we are performing well and areas for improvement.

Northern Gas Networks must provide access to environmental information under the Environmental Information Regulations Act 2004 (EIR).
