Be part of the solution to fight climate change

Énergir and its subsidiaries are actively committed to a more energy-efficient future, and are involved in a variety of innovative projects such as the production of solar and wind power, renewable natural gas, natural gas as fuel and liquefied natural gas (LNG). Énergir also wants to encourage Québecers to consume more efficiently by promoting a more complementary use of energies to successfully meet energy challenges.

Climate change is a reality. It is caused mainly by an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gas (GHG) in the atmosphere. This phenomenon can be attributed to human activity, specifically to the use of fossil fuels. If businesses in the energy sector are part of the problem, they also need to be part of the solution, and Énergir is fully aware of this reality.

The transportation industry is Québec’s largest GHG emitter, at 43% of total emissions. The industrial sector is second, at 30% of the total. Together, these two sectors alone account for nearly 75% of the province’s GHG emissions.*

Énergir sincerely believes in the complementary use of energies and in the principle of the right energy in the right place, at the right time and at the lowest cost. By adopting this principle, we can reduce our dependence on petroleum products and better manage peak energy demand.

Québec is fortunate to have hydroelectricity as an energy resource, but since some needs today cannot be met with electrical power, we want to focus our efforts where we have a competitive advantage, both environmentally and economically.
