ZEVAC technology helps reduce emissions one gas line procedure at a time

FortisBC uses Zero Emission Vacuum and Compressor (ZEVAC) machines to capture and reinject gas during maintenance, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and conserving resources. In 2021, ZEVAC saved 198,000 SCM of natural gas, preventing 2,900 tonnes of CO₂ emissions—equivalent to removing 888 cars from the road—exceeding CleanBC’s emissions reduction targets.
