MPLX Sets 2030 Target

MPLX LP announced a new 2030 target to reduce methane emissions intensity by 75% below 2016 levels. The reduction target, which applies to MPLX's natural gas gathering and processing operations, represents an expansion of the company's existing 2025 target to reduce methane emissions intensity by 50% below 2016 levels.

MPLX, a diversified, large-cap master limited partnership that owns and operates midstream energy infrastructure and logistics assets and provides fuels distribution services. has achieved an approximate 45% reduction in its methane emissions intensity toward its 2025 goal through its Focus on Methane program, an approach to voluntarily reduce methane emissions intensity across MPLX's natural gas gathering and processing operations.

"Expanding on our methane target further reduces the carbon profile of our natural gas business and demonstrates our commitment to lead in sustainable energy," said CEO Michael J. Hennigan in a statement. "As the energy industry evolves, we are positioning ourselves to continue delivering positive results in an energy-diverse future."
