A little more than a year ago, we cast the vision that 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.

This vision also amplifies the values CNX has lived since our beginning 160 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.

Since the vision was cast, others around the region have embraced Appalachia First and are working to harness 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.
