How natural gas can help you go GREEN

Natural gas, the cleanest burning of all fossil fuels, contributes to a cleaner environment

• Natural gas contains less carbon, sulphur, and nitrogen compounds and emits less greenhouse gases and ash particulates into the air when burned
• When natural gas is used instead of the more polluting energy sources, such as coal and oil, it helps improve air and water quality
• By generating lower greenhouse gas emissions, the use of natural gas can help combat against smog, acid rain, and climate change.

Choosing natural gas over oil protects you and the environment from the harmful effects of oil spills and leaks

• Natural gas is piped directly to you, so there is no storage tank to clutter your property and worry of tank corrosion or property damage. 
• By choosing natural gas, you avoid the risk of soil and water contamination and costly environmental clean-ups.

Electricity is one of the least efficient and least environmentally friendly heating options you can choose. Natural gas is a SOLUTION!

• Because New Brunswick's winter power is generated from oil and coal, it results in the production of over twice as much greenhouse gases compared to natural gas.
• Because of losses at the power plant and in power lines, electricity is only 30% efficient once delivered to you.
• In comparison, 90% of natural gas' energy value is delivered directly to you and is one of the most environmentally friendly heating options today!
