(24-161.9 10/2024) 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 2 energy that can help reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions, with more RNG projects underway. Customers can sign up for the voluntary RNG program to designate five, 10, 25, 50 or 100 per cent of the gas they use as RNG. 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 RNG. When RNG is added to North America's natural gas system, it mixes with conventional natural gas. This means we're unable to direct RNG to a specific customer. But the more RNG is added to the gas system, the less conventional natural gas is needed, thereby reducing the use of fossil fuels and overall greenhouse gas emissions. 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 0.27 grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per megajoule of energy (gCO 2 e/MJ). FortisBC's current RNG portfolio lifecycle emissions for stationary combustion are -22 gCO 2 e/MJ. This is below B.C.'s low carbon threshold for lifecycle carbon intensity of 30.8 gCO 2 e/MJ as set out in the 2024 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Regulation amendments . . 24-161.9-RNG-Ad-AwardMag-10.25x13.5-PP2.indd 1 24-161.9-RNG-Ad-AwardMag-10.25x13.5-PP2.indd 1 10/8/2024 10:29:31 AM 10/8/2024 10:29:31 AM FortisBC Inc. and FortisBC Energy Inc. use the FortisBC name and logo under license from Fortis Inc.
