Meet our Renewable Natural Gas suppliers
Diversified energy options like Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)1 are key to achieving a lower-carbon energy future, and we wouldn’t be able to offer RNG without our dedicated suppliers.
Our suppliers
We work with a range of suppliers to produce RNG from farms, landfills and wastewater treatment plants. See who’s helping us put waste to work, creating sustainable energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Glenmore Landfill
Operation: Biogas is collected from landfill waste and purified to produce RNG.
Salmon Arm Landfill
Operation: Biogas is collected from landfill waste and purified to produce RNG.
Archaea Energy
Operation: Biogas is collected from multiple landfills and purified to produce RNG.
Assai
Operation: Biogas is collected from the Keystone Landfill and purified to produce RNG.
Dicklands Farms:
Operation: Biogas is collected from agricultural waste and purified to produce RNG.
Faromor CNG Corp.
Operation: Biogas is collected from agricultural waste and purified to produce RNG.
Fraser Valley Biogas/Evergen Infrastructure Corp.
Operation: Biogas is collected from agricultural and commercial food processing waste, then purified to produce RNG.
Lethbridge Biogas
Operation: Biogas is collected from livestock waste and food processing by-products, then purified to produce RNG.
Seabreeze Dairy Farm
Operation: Biogas is collected from livestock waste and organic waste from the Metro Vancouver area and then purified to produce RNG.
Surrey Biofuel Facility
Operation: Biogas is captured from collected curbside organic waste and purified to produce RNG.
StormFisher
Operation: Biogas is collected from municipal organic waste, food waste and industrial, commercial and institutional waste. It’s then purified to produce RNG.
Lulu Island Wastewater Treatment Plant
Operation: Biogas is collected from organic matter in wastewater and purified to produce RNG.
Shell Energy North America (Canada) Inc.
Operation: Biogas is captured from organic matter in wastewater and purified to produce RNG.
Upcoming projects
We’re continuously looking to partner with more organizations and governments to increase our RNG supply. Here are a few upcoming projects:
- City of Vancouver’s landfill – Delta BC, RNG production facilities are under construction
- REN Energy International Corp. – Fruitvale BC, RNG production facilities (from wood waste) are under construction
- Capital Regional District – Hartland Landfill, Victoria BC, developing a supply contract for RNG
- Regional District of Fraser-Fort George – Foothills Boulevard Regional Landfill, Prince George BC, RNG project under development

BC renewable and low-carbon gas supply potential study
To better understand our lower carbon pathway, we commissioned a study together with the Government of British Columbia and the BC Bioenergy Network. It examines the domestic supply potential for different renewable and low carbon gases2 including Renewable Natural Gas. Learn more.
1Renewable Natural Gas 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 (also called biomethane).
2FortisBC uses the term renewable and low-carbon gas to refer collectively to the low-carbon gases or fuels that the utility can acquire under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction (Clean Energy) Regulation, which are: Renewable Natural Gas (RNG or biomethane), hydrogen, synthesis gas (from wood waste) and lignin. FortisBC’s renewable and low-carbon portfolio currently includes only Renewable Natural Gas. Other gases and fuels may be added to the program over time. Depending on their source, all of these gases have differing levels of lifecycle carbon intensity. However, all of these gases are low-carbon when compared to the lifecycle carbon intensity of conventional natural gas. The current burner tip carbon intensity of RNG is 0.29gCO2e/MJ and the current RNG portfolio lifecycle emissions are -22gCO2e/MJ. This is below B.C.’s carbon intensity threshold for low-carbon gases of 36.4 gCO2e/MJ set out in the 2021 B.C. Hydrogen Strategy.
