A project that is close to our hearts: gas from renewable source (GRS)
GRS is gas from renewable source produced from organic waste (biomass) from farms, forests, compost, landfill sites and water treatment plants. The gas is captured, cleaned and injected into the natural gas system to be used for the same applications as conventional natural gas: heating, hot water, drying, cooking food, barbecuing, the fireplace, etc. Hydrogen – produced from the water electrolysis process –is also considered a gas from renewable source.
How does GRS work?
Once injected, GRS blends with the conventional natural gas already present in the distribution network that supplies all customers. There is no separate distribution network for GRS that would allow us to deliver it directly to a customer’s address.
The purchase of GRS through enrollment in the GRS rate means that the customer is helping replace fossil fuels with renewable energy.

The advantages of GRS?
Entirely renewable
Limits greenhouse gas emissions because it is not fossilized
Can be produced locally
Recovers methane emissions from the landfilling of organic waste
Take part in our energy transformation
Enbridge Gaz Québec is continuing its efforts to develop the GRS sector directly in the Outaouais, particularly with municipalities and farmers.
You too can voluntarily support the renewable gas sector by adhering to the GRS rate.
