Westport Innovations Inc. • Environmental Responsibility

Environmental responsibility is inherent to our business. We develop engines and deploy vehicles that reduce dependence on oil, improve air-quality, and mitigate climate change.

We take our commitment to the environment even further. We continually strive to reduce the footprint of our operations – through measures that are both modest and highly complex.

We completed a complex gas re-injection project with energy distributor Terasen Inc. This enables us to re-inject liquefied natural gas (LNG), after use in our pump testing, back into Terasen's pipeline.

Since perfecting the process in October 2003, we have re-injected hundreds of thousands of kilograms of LNG to the Terasen pipeline. As Terasen pays us for the gas we return to its system, this project is a great example of an environmental program which benefits our bottomline.

We also registered as a pilot company with the Greater Vancouver Regional District's Smart Steps Program™. This helped us identify efficiency improvements and reduction opportunities in our energy and water consumption.

Our steadfast commitment to environmental responsibility is defined more specifically in Westport's Environmental Policy.
