“With LEG, we are pleased to be able to offer an infrastructure solution that integrates real time emissions monitoring and emissions reduction strategies. LEG is also ideally positioned to incorporate carbon capture and storage as a further decarbonising solution for natural gas production in the rapidly growing Haynesville basin.”

Earlier this year, Williams signed a memorandum of understanding with private equity company Quantum Energy Partners to establish a joint venture that will allow Quantum to become an equity investor and partner in the project.

Williams owns and operates over 30,000 miles of pipelines system wide. This includes Transco, the largest volume pipeline in the US.

The company handles around 30% of the natural gas in the US.
