In Ontario, fossil gas is used primarily for generating electricity, for heating buildings (residential and commercial), and for industrial uses (for heating substances and as a raw material). In fact, Ontario is planning to build new gas plants and extend expiring gas plant contracts to produce electricity. It is none of those things.
