The Stanford Natural Gas Initiative is a collaboration of more than 40 research groups at Stanford University drawn from engineering, science, policy, geopolitical, and business disciplines that works with a consortium of industry partners and other external stakeholders to generate the knowledge needed to use natural gas to its greatest social, economic, and environmental benefit.

We welcome new participants in our research and new members to our consortium any time. Please explore our website for more information.

NGI Newsletter - Summer 2021

We hope that our summer newsletter finds you all well. We are excited to announce that Stanford will be welcoming students back to campus this fall, and we hope to be hosting in-person events soon. Throughout the campus lockdown, NGI has remained dedicated to focusing on our mission of conducting fundamental research and promoting an inclusive space for scientific debate and information sharing.
