EQT Corp. said Wednesday it would supply Germany’s Uniper SE with 4 Bcf/d of independently certified natural gas in a pilot transaction with MiQ aimed at better verifying and differentiating the emissions profile of U.S. LNG cargoes.

The collaboration, which was announced at Gastech 2024 in Houston, has been designed to demonstrate the potential for full liquefied natural gas supply chain emissions reporting using MiQ’s Supply Chain Protocol. EQT, the nation’s largest gas producer, has most of its natural gas production operations certified by MiQ’s methane standard.

MiQ’s protocol integrates information from its certification of EQT’s production sites with the best available data for other supply chain segments, the company said. The 4 Bcf/d that EQT is providing to Uniper, which has U.S. LNG offtake capacity, is about the equivalent of one cargo of the super-chilled fuel.
