Delivering Natural Gas
A modern natural gas distribution system provides about one-third of all energy used by residential, commercial and industrial customers in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky areas.Natural gas is gathered by drilling into the earth where pockets of natural gas were trapped hundreds of millions of years ago. The natural gas is brought to the surface and refined to remove impurities, such as water, other gases and sand. It is then transmitted through pipelines that span the continent, to local utilities and communities where it is processed as a valuable energy source.
Together, gas utility and pipeline companies spend approximately $7 billion each year to ensure the safe and reliable delivery of natural gas.
