Let’s truly fight climate change by choosing more eco-friendly energy solutions.
Renewable natural gas
Switch to energy made from waste
Opting for renewable natural gas means choosing clean energy produced entirely from organic waste.
How renewable natural gas is produced
-
Food
Ready to eat. Bon appétit!
-
Food scraps
From your brown bin to the biomethanation plant.
-
Biomethanation
The waste is broken down inside a biodigester, producing RNG.
-
Renewable natural gas
Renewable natural gas can be injected into the natural gas network to meet energy needs in a more sustainable way.

2:39Dual energy
Heat better with dual energy
By choosing dual energy—which combines electricity from Hydro-Québec and natural gas from Énergir—rest assured that the right kind of energy is being used at the right time, all for the best possible price.
The dual-energy system
-
Most of the time, buildings are heated with electricity.
As temperatures fall, the demand for electricity rises.
During peak periods, when it’s -12 °C or colder, natural gas takes over.
-
Together Énergir and Hydro-Québec developed a solution to quickly reduce GHG emissions, all while minimizing rate increases for their customers.
-
540,000 tons
less GHG emitted by 2030 thanks to dual energy. It’s the equivalent of 125,000 fewer cars on the road, but at a lower cost to society.
