Natural gas is a major contributor to the North American energy landscape. It is the cleanest, most efficient and economical resource available in abundance. We work with the most technical minds and innovative tools so that we can create change where change is needed. Positive energy isn’t just what we make — it’s what we’re made of.
Natural gas represents almost 25% of all primary energy use in North America and globally, rapidly closing the gap on coal.
Natural gas is cleaner burning than all other forms of combustible fuel alternatives currently in use, such as wood, peat, coal and oil. It is 50% cleaner burning than coal when used to generate electricity. Natural gas provides 10% of Canada’s power generation, and because it can be delivered quickly and is scalable, it is an ideal partner for renewable power sources.
High-efficiency natural gas is the single largest form of energy used in Canadian homes. Over six million Canadians use natural gas to light, heat and cool their houses, heat their water and cook their food (almost 80 million homes in North America).
Natural gas is a vital feedstock for the petrochemical, plastics and fertilizer industries. Natural gas liquids (NGLs) such as ethane, propane, butane and condensate are typically also recovered in association with natural gas production. NGLs are used in the manufacture of a wide range of household and industrial products, including plastics, clothing, medical equipment, electronics, building materials and furniture.
The use of natural gas for heavy-duty trucks, buses and waste disposal vehicles can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20–30 %. More than 15 million vehicles worldwide run on natural gas – both compressed and liquefied. An optimal use for natural gas in the transportation sector would be to generate electricity for plug-in vehicles.

OUR IMPACT
At Jupiter, we demand a lot from ourselves. That’s because we know we’re capable of doing great things, and proud when we see what our team of 90 employees produces.
The average natural gas-consuming home in Canada uses 110,000 cubic feet of natural gas per year. Jupiter produces enough in a single year to heat approximately one million homes—equivalent to a city of three million people.
Over the past three years Jupiter has contributed approximately $90 million to the government which has in-turn been reinvested into local infrastructure, schools, and community facilities.
Jupiter produces natural gas that powers industry, heats living spaces, and is used in countless everyday products—it is the cleanest burning fossil fuel with emissions totalling approximately 50% less than coal.
Since its inception in 2014, Jupiter has engaged and employed over 1,000 third-party companies and contractors and injected over $700 million into the economy.
