For all
Recovers waste
RNG takes the energy contained in organic waste and turns it into renewable energy.
Reduces GHGs
Used as an alternative to traditional natural gas, RNG reduces GHG emissions from fossil fuels.
Stimulates the economy
Increased demand for RNG supports the development of production projects and promotes economic spin-offs, including here in Québec.
Where does RNG come from?
Learn more about where renewable natural gas comes from and some local producers.
When you buy RNG, you're doing your bit for the planet by helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Your purchase directly replaces a fossil fuel with a renewable energy source.
In North America, RNG circulates in the same network as traditional natural gas. The molecules of renewable and conventional natural gas travel together and are completely interchangeable. So it's impossible to differentiate what's actually going to the appliances.
Energir certifies that your purchase is included in the overall volumes purchased from RNG producers. All this renewable natural gas actually replaces the same amount of fossil energy. This process is even verified by the Bureau de normalisation du Québec.
Your RNG purchase is real, and clearly itemized on your bill. You contribute directly to the collective movement to migrate from fossil fuels to more renewable energy.
Together, we can make a difference in the face of the decarbonization challenge.
Investing in a more sustainable future
At Énergir, we want to accelerate the development of locally produced renewable natural gas. Here are just a few of the anticipated benefits over the next few years in Québec alone:

Questions?
We've got answers.
Nothing can confirm exactly how much RNG is consumed in your appliances, since RNG and traditional natural gas circulate in the same gas network. The molecules are therefore intermingled. It's the same for the electricity you consume: we can't know which dam or wind turbine the electron that lights our homes comes from.
When you buy RNG, you can be sure that this volume has been purchased by Énergir as part of its supply, replacing the traditional natural gas molecules. Your renewable natural gas purchase volumes are indicated on your detailed invoices under total natural gas consumption. Énergir has its RNG supply and inventory verified by the Bureau de normalisation du Québec (BNQ).
No. You don't need to buy or modify any equipment, because RNG and natural gas are interchangeable. RNG can be used for the same purposes as natural gas.
You can make a purchase request directly in the Customer Space in just a few clicks. Your Customer Space allows you to compare the impact of different RNG percentages based on your personal consumption. You can automatically see the anticipated additional monthly cost, as well as the avoided GHG emissions associated with your purchase.
