Low-carbon transportation
Looking to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions as well as your fuelling costs? Lower-carbon alternative fuel options—like compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) compared to diesel—and advanced fuel storage systems have paved the way to reducing your operating costs and emissions.
Benefits of natural gas-fuelled vehicles
Reduce emissions and fuel costs by fuelling with natural gas instead of diesel or gasoline.

1Renewable 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.
2When 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 (gCO2e/MJ). FortisBC’s current RNG portfolio lifecycle emissions for stationary combustion are -22 gCO2e/MJ.
This is below B.C.’s low carbon threshold for lifecycle carbon intensity of 30.8 gCO2e/MJ as set out in the 2024 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Regulation amendments.
