May 1, 2024

KERAMIDA Inc. (KERAMIDA) was engaged by CNX Gas Corporation to provide limited assurance of their 2023 Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions inventory, water, waste, and select non-GHG air emissions.
The disclosure of assured data is the sole responsibility of CNX Gas Corporation using guidance per US Environmental Protection Agency, GHG Protocol standards, and other applicable guidance documents.
Statement of Independence
KERAMIDA affirms our independence from CNX and is free from bias and conflicts of interest related to the assurance of the environmental data.

Verification Assurance Opinion
Based on the process and procedures conducted, there is no evidence that the verified data are not a fair representation of the actual environmental information.

KERAMIDA’S APPROACH

Verification was conducted in accordance with ISO 14064-3: 2019 Specification with guidance for the validation and verification of greenhouse gas assertion, and the parameters of the assurance are below. KERAMIDA is an approved gold accredited service provider in verification services to the CDP platform, and this audit was led by Kindal Keen, a registered Lead GHG Verifier for California, with oil and gas sector accreditation, and Dr. Albert Chung, also a registered Lead GHG Verifier for California, Oregon, and Washington.

Validation scope of the reporting company,

  • Organizational boundaries: Operational Control Approach for Assets subject to EPA Subpart W Reporting
  • Scope 1 and 2 GHG Emissions
  • Water data (total fresh water withdrawn, total volume of produced water, and total water consumed)
  • Waste data (hazardous solid/liquid waste, non-hazardous solid/liquid waste, and total solid waste sent to the landfill)
  • Air emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), particulate matter less than 10 micrometers (PM10), carbon monoxide (CO), and formaldehyde (HCHO).

Time Period

  • Calendar Year (CY): January 1, 2023 – December 31, 2023

Level of Assurance

  • Limited
  • Materiality Threshold: 5% as suggested by ISO 14064-3 (2019).

KERAMIDA’S METHODOLOGY AND PROCEDURE

Procedure performed during the verification

  • Interviews with key personnel involved in the process of compiling, calculating, and preparing the environmental data report;
  • Review of evidence and data in support of disclosures being verified;
  • Review of a variety of data analytics to check the reasonableness of the data and calculations;
  • A variety of re-calculation procedures to confirm stated quantities;
  • Evaluated the reasonableness of any assumptions used in support of disclosures;
  • Reviewed how disclosures were presented and determine if they were representative of data and operations.

DATA VERIFIED BY KERAMIDA IS PROVIDED IN ATTACHMENT A, 2024 VERIFIED DATA

This verification statement, including the opinion expressed herein, is provided to CNX Gas Corporation and is solely for their benefit in accordance with the terms of our agreement. We consent to the release of this statement but without accepting or assuming any responsibility or liability on our part to any other party who may have access to this statement.
