Client: Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)

Author: Liz Stanton, PhD

July 2019

Clinic Director and Senior Economist Liz Stanton, PhD, assisted the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) in comments on Transco’s assessment of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the Northeast Supply Enhancement Project (NESE) expansion of its existing interstate pipeline to bring additional gas capacity to New York City and Long Island. Dr. Stanton concluded that Williams’ assessment rests on several faulty assumptions that overstate the emissions of alternatives to the pipeline, and that the evidence supplied by Transco does not support their claim that NESE would lower emissions.
