​Organization: Van Houtte Coffee Services Inc.
Member since: March 2012

As a customer of FortisBC for over 15 years, Van Houtte has participated in the company’s Spray ‘n Save program, which promotes energy efficiency at the water tap. So when Morten Schroder, VP of operations, was approached by FortisBC to sign Van Houtte up for Renewable Natural Gas, it was a natural link for him.
 
Morten explains that Van Houtte is a company with an environmental conscience. “We have a number of programs in place to help protect the environment.” From simple habit-changing initiatives like turning off lights upon exiting a room, to bigger changes like replacing delivery vehicles with compact models, Van Houtte is attempting to shrink its carbon footprint one step at a time. With a keen eye towards minimizing waste and reusing resources wherever possible, Morten could see the like-minded values between Van Houtte and FortisBC. More than that, Morten felt compelled to do the right thing.
 
"We have a responsibility to the environment, a duty. We are always looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint: [Renewable Natural Gas] is just another way we’re doing that," In the short term, Morten believes his customers will appreciate the effort. For the long term, he expects it to be better for business. "We want to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We can’t afford not to. In the end, it will benefit us all."

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 Renewable Natural Gas.

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 0.29 grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per megajoule of energy (gCO2e/MJ). FortisBC’s current RNG portfolio lifecycle emissions are -22 gCO2e/MJ. This is below B.C.’s low carbon threshold for lifecycle carbon intensity of 36.4 gCO2e/MJ as set out in the 2021 B.C.
