NISOURCE INC. · 2026-08-05 · Importance 23 · Surprise 24 · In source text

NiSource maintains a goal of net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse-gas emissions by 2040. The company plans to pursue coal-generation retirements and replacement with low- or zero-emission generation, pipe modernization, advanced leak detection, and potentially hydrogen, renewable natural gas, long-duration storage, and carbon-capture technologies. As of year-end 2025, Scope 1 emissions had declined approximately 70% from 2005 levels, but achieving the 2040 goal depends on supportive regulation, stakeholder conditions, and technologies that are not yet economically or technologically feasible at scale.
