Liquefied natural gas
An efficient solution to fight climate change
In Quebec, the largest emitters of greenhouse gas (GHG) are the transportation sector (43% of total emissions) and industries (30.8% of total emissions)*. One of the solutions for reducing GHG emissions: convert to liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a fuel for heavy transportation and maritime transport, or as an energy source for industries in remote areas not served by a gas network. Choosing natural gas instead of oil or diesel in these sectors would reduce GHG emissions and atmospheric pollutants by up to 32%. What better way to help Quebec breathe easier and allow businesses to enjoy many other advantages.
About LNG
When cooled to -160°C, natural gas changes from a gas to a liquid. In liquid form, it takes up 600 times less space than in its gaseous state. In the same space, it is therefore possible to store 600 times more energy with LNG than with natural gas in a gaseous state—a definite advantage in terms of transportation and storage.
Supply dynamics vcb
Liquefied natural gas comes from Énergir's liquefaction, storage and regasification (LSR) plant in Montreal East, in operation for 45 years. With three loading docks, the plant can produce more than 10 billion cubic feet of LNG per year and store up to 2 Bcf in its two cryogenic tanks, after the natural gas liquefaction. The loading docks fill tanker trucks, which supply refueling stations or service customers directly. LNG can then be distributed to customers within a radius of over 1,5000 km from the LSR plant.


LNG, an efficient solution for reducing greenhouse gas
LNG, an efficient solution for reducing greenhouse gas LNG can also improve a company's environmental footprint because it generates considerably less GHG and air pollutants than oil products. Transportation and industry are the largest emitters of GHG in Quebec. Converting to natural gas in these sectors would reduce GHG emissions by up to 25% compared to diesel, and by up to 32% compared to oil, and allow for substantial potential savings based on each customer's profile.
Sectors using LNG
The energy needs of a number of sectors can now be met with LNG: heavy transportation, maritime transport and industrial and mining facilities located in remote areas not served by the gas network.

The only alternative to diesel for heavy transportation
The road transportation sector is the biggest GHG emitter in Québec, accounting for 43% of total emissions. Heavy vehicles using diesel emit 28% of this total. Natural gas has proven effective for road transportation through its less polluant combustion compared to diesel motors. A truck that runs on natural gas instead of diesel makes it possible to reduce GHG emissions by up to 25% as well as almost completely eliminate the emission of air pollutants. Not only is natural gas a safe choice, it cuts engine noise emissions by 10 decibels—which gets unanimous support. Worldwide, more than 20 million vehicles already run on natural gas.
A growing network of stations
The first public network of compressed and liquefied natural gas refuelling stations for Canada’s transportation industry was introduced in 2011. Some of the stations are located along the corridor of highways A-20/H-401, between Québec City and Toronto. As deployment of the network continues, compressed and liquefied natural gas fuelling points will be added in a strategic, flexible manner at various Québec and Ontario locations, in accordance with the market.


The only fuel that meets environmental standards
Using liquefied natural gas as a marine fuel makes it possible to meet and even exceed the air emissions standards in effect as of 2024. LNG has a cradle-to-grave carbon intensity up to 21% lower than marine diesel or bunker fuel2. LNG is also insoluble, so in the event of a spill, it evaporates without contaminating soil, water or wildlife.

Reducing remote regions’ reliance on petroleum products
In Quebec, the industrial sector accounts for nearly one-third of all GHG emissions. To help reduce this footprint, Énergir promotes the use of natural gas as a substitute for petroleum products. Industrial sites in remote regions such as northern Quebec and Côte-Nord that are not connected to the gas network can access natural gas in liquefied form.In many industrial processes, electricity cannot replace thermal energy sources like fuel oil or natural gas. That’s why access to natural gas is a key driver of economic development in this sector.

LNG: A competitive advantage for Quebec’s mining industry
Energy accounts for about 30% of mining companies’ operating costs, and using natural gas helps them sustain competitive operations in Quebec. Switching from petroleum products to natural gas allows mining companies to reduce their operating costs and lower their GHG emissions by up to 20% compared to diesel.2 Natural gas supports key needs such as electricity generation, heating, industrial processes and ore transportation.


LSR plant capacity expansion
Énergir's liquefaction, storage and regasification (LSR) plant in Montreal East has been in operation for 45 years. Through Investissement Québec, the government of Québec and Énergir have partnered to increase accessibility to liquefied natural gas in order to meet the growing demand for LNG in the road and maritime transportation markets, and serve regions remote from the natural gas network.
