The awards were created to recognise and honour individuals who have made a lasting impact on the industry by promoting the natural gas industry and the lowering of methane emissions and the natural gas industry’s leading technology innovators that will make a lasting impact on lowering methane emissions. ONE Future also awarded five US$10 000 scholarships to attract new talent to the natural gas industry.
