Appalachia First
A vision for the future that embraces innovation and harnesses the talent, resources, and opportunities of Appalachia to transform our region, nation, and the world.
December 12, 2022
The nation and world are waking up to stark energy realities: energy scarcity, deterioration of our power grid, and energy inflation stoking wider inflation.
But there is a better, simpler, and more logical way. Appalachia can be the launchpad to a more efficient and sustainable future catalyzed by lower carbon intensity natural gas. We believe our lower emissions natural gas and its derivative products, brought about by innovation and new technologies, are the catalyst to a more sustainable and secure future that lasts for generations – particularly as it relates to maximizing these benefits locally.
Our vision is simple. It embraces innovation and harnesses the talent, resources, and opportunities of Appalachia to transform our region, nation, and the world – all while lowering emissions and providing more low-cost energy. We do this by better leveraging Appalachia’s strategic advantage with affordable and abundant natural gas.
This vision also amplifies the values CNX has lived since our beginning more than 150 years ago: putting the people of Appalachia first by prioritizing investments and utilizing home-grown resources that truly make a Tangible, Impactful, and Local difference in our regional communities first, and then far beyond.
