PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT

Global Energy Partners' Miller Mountain Project


The Miller Mountain Project, through the voluntary hydrocarbon abatement and sequestration methodology, provides an incentive mechanism to permanently prevent economically viable hydrocarbons from being produced from the project site located in one of the most prolific natural gas-producing areas in the Marcellus and Utica Shale plays. By creating a legal barrier to the extraction of new natural gas and associated hydrocarbons, this project reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to the avoided emissions associated with their extraction, processing, transportation, refinement, and end-use (i.e., combustion). The project covers the emission reductions from voluntary hydrocarbon abatement project activities resulting in the natural gas and associated hydrocarbons remaining permanently sequestered in their original geologic formations, the Upper Marcellus Formation.
