	There are several environmental impacts that can be connected to various midstream petroleum activities. The most apparent impacts are the ones associated with the transportation of goods. Since the midstream industry relies heavily on [[fossil fuel]]s to transport oil and gas, there is an associated reduction in [[air quality]] and increase in [[greenhouse gas]] [[emission]]s. These greenhouse gas emissions include [[methane]] (the main component of natural gas) and [[carbon dioxide]]. ~~Additionally, there~~ is a higher risk of accidental leaks, spills, and explosions from pipelines, railroads, and ship tankers used to transport petroleum products that can harm the environment.<ref>Sustainability Accounting Standards Board.
