PGW is considering two pathways to lower its carbon footprint: full electrification and a ‘hybrid’ that includes gas

Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW) is evaluating two options to reduce carbon emissions: full electrification of its gas-based system or a hybrid approach combining gas with lower carbon fuels. The utility aims to align with the city’s 2050 climate goals and has already exceeded some emission reduction targets, including a 2025 reduction of 12,118 metric tons of CO2e. Public engagement sessions and projects like a geothermal pilot at McCloskey Elementary School are part of its strategy.
