British Columbia Shown to Hold a Wealth of Renewable and Low Carbon Gas Potential
By 2050, British Columbia's gas system could be completely supplied by made-in-B.C. renewable and low carbon sources. A new study showed that, by 2050, the potential of renewable and low carbon gases could be as high as 440 petajoules (PJ) per year—roughly double what currently flows through FortisBC's gas infrastructure to British Columbians.
The joint study commissioned by the Government of British Columbia, FortisBC Energy Inc.(FortisBC's) and BC Bioenergy Network (BCBN) examined the potential production of renewable and low carbon gases using solely B.C. resources by 2030 and 2050, as well as examining overall potential production in Canada and the United States.
