Designate 10% of your energy use as renewable natural gas
• Take advantage of a new way to reduce your environmental impact• Displace the use of fossil fuel natural gas with a carbon neutral,
renewable source of energy • Contribute to developing renewable and sustainable energy in B.C.• Compliment your other sustainability initiatives & be promoted within
your community
Reduce your carbon footprint by 10%
Natural gas for transportation
Benefits of natural gas vehicles:
• Natural gas fuel costs have historically been 25 to 50% less than diesel
• Transportation industry biggest source of GHGs – 40%
• Greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by 20 to 30%
• Natural gas engines run quieter compared to diesel trucks
New medium and heavy-duty incentive program
• Light-duty incentives also available
