A brief description of the RECs, GOs and/or similar renewable energy products, including contract timeframes:
Since September 2018, Université Laval has replaced 8% of its natural gaz consumption (produced from fossile issue) by a renewable natural gaz (produced locally from organic matter residues). Therefore, the numbers declare above cover the period from September 2018 to August 2019 inclusively.

A brief description of other sources of building heating not specified above:
We put the portion of renewable natural gaz in the section biomass.
Since september 2018, we replaced 8% of our natural gaz produced from fossile issue by a renewable natural gaz, produced locally from Organinal matter residues.
For this reason, we used the energy from september 2018 to august 2019 inclusively.
Percentage of total energy consumption from clean and renewable sources:
3.74
Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
We believe that no university in Québec, including Université Laval, can earn this credit. Practically all power used comes from Hydro-Québec, a state monopoly. Hydro-Québec supplies renewable energy (almost all hydroelectricity plus some wind energy). These types of energy create very little pollution, and the energy produced by Hydro-Québec emits very little greenhouse gas. What’s more, Hydro-Québec’s hydroelectricity is very competitively priced compared with other forms of energy.
http://www.hydroquebec.com/a-propos/notre-energie.html
For reasons beyond our comprehension, hydroelectricity is not considered a renewable source of energy in the United States even though it meets all the criteria. Applicants should be eligible for credit if they provide a sufficient explanation, but that is not currently possible.
