Looking for ways to step up climate action and reduce federal carbon charges?
We’ve applied to the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) to offer a new voluntary program for large-volume customers who purchase their natural gas supply from Enbridge Gas.
If the program is approved, eligible customers will have the opportunity to choose a percentage of their annual natural gas use supplied as carbon-neutral renewable natural gas (RNG)*, which is not subject to the federal carbon charge.
What is RNG?
Created by capturing methane emissions from organic waste, landfills and wastewater treatment plants, RNG provides a carbon-neutral energy source that also helps manage waste, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and fight climate change.
Carbon neutral
Diverts methane—one of the most harmful GHGs—that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere.
Diverts waste from landfill
As Ontario’s landfill capacity is expected to run out by 2032*, RNG offers an immediate solution.
Versatile, resilient and market-ready
A made-in-Ontario solution that’s more resilient and easier to adopt than other types of low-carbon energy sources.

How you’ll benefit
Flexible and convenient
RNG requires no upgrades or changes to your existing infrastructure—it’s a customizable solution and a one-for-one replacement for conventional natural gas.
An easy way to reduce emissions
Replacing conventional natural gas with carbon-neutral RNG means lower GHG emissions, helping you meet your corporate sustainability goals.
Lower federal carbon charges
By using RNG to lower GHG emissions, you can reduce your federal carbon charge.
How it works
If the program is approved by the OEB, large-volume Enbridge Gas customers will have the opportunity to choose a percentage of their annual natural gas supply provided as RNG. Prices vary based on how it’s produced and used.

RNG is not subject to the federal carbon charge. Reducing your federal carbon
charge will help offset the price difference between RNG and conventional natural gas.

Calculate the impact on your bill, and the environment
Calculate costs and GHG avoided using RNG:

The calculated costs and avoided GHG are estimates and not guaranteed by Enbridge Gas. The accuracy of this calculation is dependent upon the accuracy of the variables entered into the calculator and the relevancy of the assumptions used in the calculation to your specific facility (see assumptions below for details).
