FortisBC Behind the First Interprovincial Purchase of RNG in Canada
The BC Utilities Commission approved FortisBC’s request to purchase Renewable Natural Gas from outside of British Columbia (BC), making it the first interprovincial purchase of Renewable Natural Gas in Canada by a natural gas utility. Advancing Renewable Natural Gas is an essential component of FortisBC’s 30BY30 target, which includes having 15 percent of our natural gas be from renewable sources by 2030.
Renewable Natural Gas blends seamlessly with conventional natural gas in existing FortisBC infrastructure. It is injected into our natural gas distribution system, displacing conventional natural gas. As we continue to evaluate such renewable and carbon-neutral energies as Renewable Natural Gas and hydrogen, our infrastructure is key to delivering this energy throughout the province.
