WHATCOM COUNTY, Wash. – Puget Sound Energy has announced the launching of a Renewable Natural Gas program for its utility customers.

The first-of-its-kind program allows renters, homeowners, and businesses to replace their conventional natural gas use with renewable natural gas as a way to help reach net zero carbon emissions by 2045.

The renewable gas is supplied by methane captured from a Washington landfill that is processed and refined to be used as energy, instead of leaking into the atmosphere.

Customers will receive a credit on their bill for the use of the carbon footprint reducing program.
