Enabling Low-Emission Intensity Natural Gas Production

Upwing is addressing how to meet the demand of natural gas production in an environmentally responsible way, prioritizing sustainability in its technology and company practices.


Upwing's Subsurface Compressor System™ (SCS) provides greater efficiencies and lower emissions in natural gas production by reducing the need to drill new unconventional wells and eliminating the use of surface wellhead compressors on existing wells.

Leading By Example

Upwing Energy is the first among oil and gas equipment and service companies to achieve carbon neutrality based on the PAS 2060 standard.


We are committed to maintaining our certification and will continue to push the envelope to find and implement innovative solutions that will reduce the environmental impact while simultaneously increasing the productivity of our industry.

Upwing's Carbon Neutral Certification 

What’s Included

The calculation of overall greenhouse gas emissions includes scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.

  • Scope 1 – Direct emissions from sources owned by Upwing Energy
  • Scope 2 – Indirect emissions from purchased electricity
  • Scope 3 – All other emissions related to Upwing’s activities

 

How We Certify Emissions and Offsets

Upwing Energy works with SCS Global Services to calculate and verify greenhouse gas emissions. Our scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions are calculated on an annual basis based on our business activities. In addition to calculating emissions, SCS Global Services makes certain that we comply with the PAS 2060 environmental standard. This specification for carbon neutrality is recognized internationally and sets out the requirements for reduction and offsetting. When selecting offsets, Upwing Energy makes a conscious decision to find a clean energy project that meets the PAS 2060 environmental standard. Most recently, we have chosen to offset emissions through hydro power projects.

Upwing Energy achieved a 22.02% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions in our first 2 years of commitment to carbon neutrality. Explore more about our carbon neutrality commitments and certification below:

Environmental Education Program

We have implemented a 3-tier program that guides Upwing team members through our journey to net-zero and encourages everyone to take action.

Tier 1

Upwing employees are included in our annual emissions calculation and offset project selection, so they can better help the company mitigate future emissions.

Environmental Education Program

We have implemented a 3-tier program that guides Upwing team members through our journey to net-zero and encourages everyone to take action.

Tier 1

Upwing employees are included in our annual emissions calculation and offset project selection, so they can better help the company mitigate future emissions.

Tier 2

Our management team goes through each scope of emissions to determine the steps we can take towards carbon neutrality both now and in the future. Then, adjustments are made to daily operations to lower our total quantity of greenhouse gas emissions.

Tier 3

Upwing Energy also encourages our employees to take individual actions, such as carpooling, staying at green hotels, choosing low-carbon travel options, recycling and conserving energy to support our position of being a carbon neutral gas company.
