EQT Corporation, based in Pittsburgh, released its 2025 Sustainability Report, detailing its work on eliminating greenhouse gas emissions.

The report, entitled “Built for What’s Next,” said the company had a second consecutive year sustaining net zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions across its upstream operations, while delivering significant economic benefits to the Appalachian region.

“We are operating in one of the most important moments in the history of energy,” EQT President and CEO Toby Z. Rice said. “Global demand is accelerating at a pace not seen in decades, driven by the rise of AI, the reindustrialization of the United States and the growing need for energy security around the world. One thing is crystal clear: our energy system needs to be cheaper, more reliable, cleaner and bigger.”

The report outlined the company’s record economic impact across the Appalachian Basin and outlines the role of Appalachian supply in meeting increasing global demand for affordable, reliable, and cleaner energy.

EQT said it had reached two new environmental targets that build on previous greenhouse gas emission achievements. The company said it is committed to maintaining its new-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions across its upstream operation and to maintaining a company-wide methane intensity below 0.02 percent, reinforcing its commitment to continuous emissions reductions.

The company also highlighted that it recycled more than 95 percent of produced water in 2025, which it attributed to its circular water strategy and approximately 245-mile integrated pipeline network. In addition, EQT maintained a “Gold Standard” rating for the fourth consecutive year in the United Nations Environment Programme’s Oil & Gas Methane Partnership framework.

“Our mission remains unchanged: to deliver the world’s best energy, and in 2025 we are proud to have sustained net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions across our upstream operations for the second consecutive year, while connecting low-cost Appalachian supply to the fastest-growing demand centers — from U.S. data infrastructure to global LNG markets,” Rice said.
