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 2 energy that can be used in homes and businesses across the province—and we're adding more to our supply every year. Our gas 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 (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 landfills, agricultural waste and wastewater from treatment facilities. The biogas is captured and cleaned to create low-carbon Renewable Natural Gas. 2 When compared to the lifecycle carbon intensity of conventional natural gas. The burner tip emission factor of FortisBC's current Renewable Natural Gas (also called RNG or biomethane) portfolio is 0.29 grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per megajoule of energy (gCO 2 e/MJ). FortisBC's current RNG portfolio lifecycle emissions are -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.
