People from Fortis BC talked with us today virtually about different forms of natural gas energy. We learned about LNG (Liquid Natural Gas), RNG (Renewable Natural Gas), and CNG (Compressed Natural Gas). LNG is natural gas that has been cooled down to liquid. RNG is Gas that is created from compost and is renewable. CNG is an eco-friendly alternative fuel for vehicles. Another thing the class learned is that if you smell rotten eggs go outside and call Fortis BC or 911 until it is safe to go back inside. We also learned about ways to conserve energy. Some of the ways we can conserve energy is to keep doors shut, close windows to keep warm air in, take shorter showers, and use technology less and unplug when your not using it. These are only some of the ways you can conserve energy. We also learned that if you are doing any digging on your property you should call Fortis BC to get a free map of where the gas pipes are located around your house. You should always be careful near pipe line markers and avoid digging or using heavy machinery in the area. Activities that are okay to do in these areas where the pipelines run include walking or biking.
