Path to 2030: Our decarbonization vision

Quebec is in greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction mode, and Énergir is already taking action. Our vision includes concrete measures—energy efficiency, dual energy, renewable natural gas—that enable us to play a decisive role in addressing climate, economic and social issues for our customers and Quebec. Our decarbonization vision aims to significantly reduce the volumes of fossil natural gas distributed, and to gradually make the remaining volumes renewable.

Decarbonization as a common goal

We share and encourage the goal of decarbonizing municipalities. In the building sector, we aim to reduce the GHG emissions of the buildings we serve by 30% by 2030, with a view to making the sector carbon neutral by 2040.

Looking for a site suitable for renewable natural gas production?

We mapped the federal census of agriculture (2021) to help developers position their projects at the centre of organic deposits and close to our network.

Over half of our employees work on activities related to planning, maintaining, repairing and developing the gas distribution system. These experts have a single focus—ensuring a reliable, uninterrupted, safe supply of natural gas.
