CHICAGO, June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CG Hub, a pioneering certified gas marketplace, is delighted to announce its one-year anniversary. Over the past year, this platform has revolutionized the way certified natural gas is traded, providing transparency, efficiency, and liquidity to the certified gas industry.

Since its launch, CG Hub's certified natural gas trading marketplace has garnered widespread acclaim for its innovative approach to addressing the challenges facing the certified natural gas market. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and a commitment to sustainability, CG Hub has facilitated seamless transactions while reporting compliance with important environmental standards.

"We are excited to celebrate the one-year anniversary of our certified natural gas trading platform," said Jon Olson, CEO of CG Hub. "In just one year, we have witnessed remarkable growth and transformation within the industry. Our platform has simplified trading processes while paving the way to a more sustainable future."

One of the key features of CG Hub's platform is its ability to trade certificates from all certifiers, including unique evidence of gas quality from companies that choose to self-certify. Through their various processes, certifiers verify the origin and environmental attributes of certified natural gas. Establishing liquidity for certified gas transactions, the CG Hub marketplace facilitates transactions that enable a) buyers to make informed decisions that align with their environmental goals and b) sellers to monetize their efforts to produce lower carbon natural gas.

In addition to enhancing market liquidity and price transparency, CG Hub drives efficiency and reduces transaction costs for participants. Using advanced analytics and ongoing price monitoring, traders can access critical market data and gain insights, empowering them to make smarter transactional decisions.

Over the past year, CG Hub has continued to expand its platform's reach, forging strategic partnerships with leading industry players and regulatory bodies. These collaborations have enabled the platform to scale rapidly and establish itself as a trusted marketplace for certified natural gas transactions. The marketplace is experiencing ever-increasing volume of originations to buy or sell certified gas bundled with certificates and unbundled certificates. Just last week, valued members, including Ascent Resources, Virginia Natural Gas (a subsidiary of Southern Company Gas), and Seneca Resources executed transactions involving both physical gas and unbundled certificate asset classes.

Ken Yagelski, Director of Gas Supply for Southern Company Gas said, "by using CG Hub, we can see activity at multiple locations, analyze pricing in various markets, and interact with an array of counter parties as we choose. By using CG Hub, we see more of the market on one screen."

"CG Hub allows us to market certificates to a broader audience than we can using our legacy, manual processes," said Rob Lindroos, Senior Manager, Marketing for Seneca Resources.

Chaz Allen, Director, Marketing and Transportation for Ascent Resources said, "the CG Hub's ability to support transactions in both the physical gas, including certificates, and unbundled certificates without physical gas attached allows us to meet the varying needs of our customers."

As CG Hub looks ahead to the future, it remains committed to driving innovation and sustainability within the natural gas industry, including supporting additional asset classes. By harnessing the power of technology and collaboration, the company aims to further assist its customers to accelerate their transition to a low-carbon economy.
