Where CNX is headed

CNX is the weird one in the Appalachian gas patch. While EQT and Antero pitch themselves as LNG-export plays riding the Gulf Coast feedgas wave, CNX has spent the last three years building something stranger: a gas company that monetizes the molecules it captures BEFORE they would have leaked. The coalbed methane segment, once treated as a legacy boat anchor from the CONSOL spin, is now an environmental attribute factory. Every Mcf of methane CNX captures from abandoned and active coal mines qualifies under the 45V hydrogen credit framework and a growing roster of state-level low-carbon fuel standards. The molecules sell at a premium. The attributes sell separately. The same gas gets paid twice.
