EMPOWERING OUR WORKFORCE TO DRIVE METHANE INTENSITY REDUCTION
Since launching our Focus on Methane initiative in 2019, MPLX NG&NGL
Services has made methane reduction a strategic priority that we believe
helps us achieve our ultimate goal of safe, compliant, and reliable operations.
Our goal remains unchanged: reduce methane intensity by 75% by 2030.
Through 2024, we’ve achieved a 59% reduction.
Why Learning Matters More Than Ever
The playing field has shifted since we set our original goal. Global regulatory
pressures are evolving, requiring stronger monitoring, more transparent
reporting, and faster action on release events.
Meanwhile, ever-improving technology has enhanced our ability to detect and
measure methane emissions. But tools alone aren’t enough. Achieving our
goals depends on everyone understanding how they can contribute.
Culture Complements Strategy: The Methane Matters Campaign
In 2025, we launched an employee awareness and engagement program
called Methane Matters that builds on our original Focus on Methane initiative.
Methane Matters equips employees with knowledge, tools, and confidence
to support our intensity reduction goal. We recognized that this cultural
engagement would be essential to our future success. Strategy based on
technology capabilities alone won’t get us to 75%.
Like our safety approach, Methane Matters emphasizes practical, recurring
learning. It reflects input from across job functions to refine strategies and
spark better questions. We believe our best ideas come from the field and are
built from shared understanding.
