Why are we here?
MiQ has one simple goal: rapidly reducing methane emissions in the oil and gas sector by certifying natural gas. Because we want to remove emissions that contribute the same amount of climate impact as the entire transportation sector combined!!
What do we do?
MiQ has developed a Standard that provides a robust, transparent, and reliable grading method (A-F) to certify natural gas according to its methane emissions performance during production. Our theory of change relies upon market forces, whereby markets adopt certified gas to drive pricing and investment signals for the producers.

MiQ is an independent, not-for-profit foundation established by RMI and SYSTEMIQ to facilitate a rapid reduction in methane emissions from the Oil & Gas sector. MiQ has developed a unique Standard for methane emissions accounting through the full natural gas supply chain. The standard differentiates each gas molecule by its methane intensity. MiQ pairs this robust, technical standard with a credible registry to generate, trade and retire emissions certificates. MiQ’s theory of change is that differentiated products will lead to differentiated pricing and emissions reduction as corporates strive for higher norms.
