HOUSTON, Oct 22, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- KMP | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Kinder Morgan today announced that it has received the Continuing Excellence Award for its participation in the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Natural Gas STAR Program. The Natural Gas STAR Program is a voluntary partnership between the EPA and the oil and gas industry. The Continuing Excellence Award recognizes a partner's outstanding performance over multiple years in reducing methane emissions, identifying and implementing new emission-reducing technologies and practices, and supporting the overall objectives of the Natural Gas STAR program. In 2006, Kinder Morgan was recognized as the Natural Gas STAR Transmission Partner of the Year.

"This award from EPA demonstrates Kinder Morgan's continued commitment to the reduction of methane emissions and we are very pleased to be once again recognized for our contributions," said Dwayne Burton, vice president of operations for Kinder Morgan's natural gas pipelines. "The Natural Gas STAR Program is a great example of a program that makes good environmental and business sense, as we have been able to protect the environment and achieve operational efficiencies." Kinder Morgan operates over 25,000 miles of natural gas pipelines.

In 2008, Kinder Morgan implemented several technologies and operational practices that resulted in methane emission reductions of 3,469,719 thousand cubic feet. These reductions were achieved through the installation of new electric motor driven compressors and gas turbines, using compressors to pump down pipeline sections prior to maintenance activities, implementation of directed inspection and maintenance programs and other methane emission reduction practices. More information about Kinder Morgan's environmental programs is provided at www.kindermorgan.com.
