We're finding low-carbon
energy in unlikely places
Like biogas captured from compost 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.

Renewable Natural Gas (also called RNG or biomethane) is produced in a different manner than conventional natural gas. It is derived from biogas, which is
produced from decomposing organic waste from landfi lls, agricultural waste and wastewater from treatment facilities. The biogas is captured and cleaned
to create low-carbon Renewable Natural Gas.

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

e/MJ. This is below B.C.'s low
carbon threshold for lifecycle carbon intensity of 36.4 gCO

e/MJ as set out in the 2021 B.C. Hydrogen Strategy.
