SUSTAINABILITY
PIPELINES EMIT FEWER GHGs
PIPELINES IMPACT THE ENVIRONMENT LESS
PIPELINE OPERATORS MINIMIZE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
SUSTAINABLE PIPELINE OPERATIONS
Sustainable pipeline operations mean using less energy and emitting fewer greenhouse gases when we deliver energy by pipeline. While liquids pipeline operations emit few greenhouse gases directly, we can operate more efficiently, use less energy to operate and thereby lower emissions indirectly. We can also use pipelines to deliver cleaner fuels to help others reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

CLIMATE CHANGE INNOVATIONS
AOPL recognizes climate change is a challenge and is committed to promoting innovations that minimize pipeline greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while meeting the world's energy needs. Innovations AOPL is promoting to meet energy needs while also reducing GHG emissions include:
- encouraging improved pipeline operations with a focus on GHG emissions
- investing in development and deployment technologies that reduce GHG emissions from pipeline operations
- engaging in research and development to better understand and manage GHG emissions from pipelines
- participating in the development of responsible policies that address climate change as part of a comprehensive plan for meeting the world's energy needs
SAFEST ENERGY DELIVERY
Pipeline safety technologies and programs keep pipelines operating safely.
- proactive pipeline inspections with the latest technology
- preventive pipeline maintenance to fix issues before they become problems
- 24/7 monitoring to ensure pipelines are operating safely
- best practices to manage safety comprehensively and foster safety culture
- cutting edge research and development of pipeline safety technology
Environmental Protection
Pipeline operators minimize the environmental impact of their pipelines with route selection, construction and materials, proactive inspections and preventative maintenance, 24/7 leak detection systems, and emergency response programs.
