(23-026.20 04/2023) We're finding low-carbon energy in unlikely places Like biogas captured from cow manure to create Renewable Natural Gas 1 (RNG). It's a low-carbon energy 2 that can be used in homes and businesses across the province—and we're adding more to our supply every year. Our natural gas delivery system can provide RNG to buildings and developments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This means buildings can meet strict emissions guidelines without expensive upgrades or retrofits. Find out more about RNG at fortisbc.com/rngbuild Connect with us @fortisbc 1 Renewable Natural Gas is produced in a different manner than conventional natural gas. It's derived from biogas, which is produced from decomposing organic waste from landfills, agricultural waste and wastewater from treatment facilities. The biogas is captured and cleaned to create Renewable Natural Gas (also called biomethane). 2 When compared to the lifecycle carbon intensity of conventional natural gas. The burner tip carbon intensity of FortisBC's current RNG portfolio is 0.29 gCO 2 e/MJ. FortisBC's current RNG portfolio lifecycle emissions are negative 22 gCO 2 e/MJ. This is below B.C.'s low carbon threshold for lifecycle carbon intensity of 36.4 gCO 2 e/MJ as set out in the 2021 B.C. Hydrogen Strategy.
