FortisBC & City of Vancouver Approved to Produce Landfill waste-to-RNG, to be Largest RNG Project in B.C.
FortisBC and the City of Vancouver have received regulatory approval from the British Columbia Utilities Commission to produce Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) at the City's landfill in Delta. This project aligns with the City's and FortisBC's shared commitment to develop more renewable energy and support the broader greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals outlined in the province's CleanBC strategy.
"This new and substantial supply will bring us closer to our target of having 15 per cent of our gas supply be renewable by 2030―a key deliverable within our 30BY30 Target to reduce our customers' greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent by 2030," said Douglas Stout, vice-president of external relations and market development, FortisBC. "This is our largest RNG project to date and the RNG generated from the landfill will be delivered into the local natural gas distribution system as a renewable source of energy."
