How does natural gas benefit you?
For many of us, having the option to use natural gas is essential for several reasons.
Energy reliability
Natural gas is a dependable energy source year round, providing reliable service through the harshest winters and hottest summers.
Energy security
Natural gas plays a key role for delivering energy to Ontario’s electricity grid. It supports gas-fired generation during peak electricity usage or when wind and solar generation is insufficient.
Infrastructure resilience
Natural gas benefits from a robust underground infrastructure, ensuring it is readily available when needed.
Versatile energy
Natural gas can be used to support cleaner fuel alternatives such as renewable natural gas and hydrogen, as well as lower-carbon technologies such as hybrid heating.
Affordability
The cost of energy influences the prices of many goods and services. Natural gas plays a significant role in keeping costs down.
Economic stability
Ontario's manufacturing industry depends on access to natural gas, as it supports high-intensity processes needed to produce steel, glass and more.
Here’s how natural gas fuels key sectors
Agriculture
In season, every season
Ontario’s greenhouse sector is the largest in Canada and the second largest globally. So, it’s important for this sector to have access to affordable and reliable energy to grow its business. See more.
Greenhouse operators use natural gas for efficient and consistent heating, which helps them grow fresh, high-quality food year round. They also capture CO2 emissions from natural gas heating to aid plant growth.
Alternative fuels like oil, diesel and propane are more expensive and emit more greenhouse gases. Since energy costs are the second-largest expense for greenhouse operators, using natural gas helps keep operating costs down, which helps keep prices more affordable for consumers.
Housing
Home comfort
For many Ontarians, natural gas is a reliable and consistent energy source that keeps you warm in the winter, provides hot water on demand or helps you cook your favourite meal. It’s so reliable that you might even forget it’s there! See more.
Natural gas is a convenient, versatile, safe and consistent energy source. Natural gas is even used to support electric generation that keeps your home humming.
You may be using natural gas when you cool your home with air conditioning, dry your laundry, enjoy hot showers, sanitize dishes in your dishwasher, grill outdoors on a barbecue and much more.
Manufacturing
Made in Ontario
With unmatched energy intensity and reliability, natural gas is the energy backbone for Ontario’s industrial and manufacturing sector. These processes use natural gas as fuel, raw material and heat. See more.
Natural gas is used in various manufacturing processes as a fuel source, including melting, baking, glazing and drying products. It also heats manufacturing facilities producing steel, glass, cement, tiles, ceramics, bricks, paper and food products.
Did you know that natural gas is a basic ingredient for manufacturing plastics, fertilizers, fabrics, pharmaceuticals and antifreeze? It is also used to create hydrogen for cleaner energy and for medical products.
With its ability to provide high, consistent heat, natural gas is critical to many manufacturing processes.
