Climate change
Our commitment
气候变化是我们这个时代最紧迫的社会问题之一,需要每个公司都采取可信和具体的行动, 政府和个人——看到真正的积极的变化.
Our role in the energy transition will involve diversifying our energy portfolio, 投资创新技术,制定可实现的可持续发展和温室气体减排目标,推动我们的组织和行业走向更可持续的未来.
- 我们是…的签署国 甲烷指导原则 并努力持续减少甲烷排放.
- In 2021, we set GHG emissions reductions targets with two main goals:
- Reduce the GHG emissions intensity of our operations by 30 per cent by 2030; and,
- Position to achieve net zero emissions from our operations by 2050.
- We invest millions of dollars each year in the advancement and research of new technologies.
- We collaborate with industry and government partners to advance environmental stewardship across the energy industry.
- We support environment-focused non-profit organizations through our community giving program.
We have many activities underway to reduce emissions and develop solutions for the future — for example, 泄漏检测和修复程序, 天然气管道现代化和电气化工程, 太阳能和电池存储项目, 抽水蓄能工程, 可再生天然气运输, and promising possibilities for developing carbon capture and storage solutions.

重点关注:甲烷减排
我们一直是管道行业开发和实施新实践和技术的推动力,以减少日常运营和维护期间的逸散性排放.
在维护期间, 使用下拉式压缩机(如左图所示)和热水龙头程序帮助我们捕获和回收甲烷排放. During operation, 我们的逸散排放检查和泄漏修复计划使我们能够识别管道和压缩机站阀以及其他组件的泄漏,以帮助减少天然气的释放.
我们正在投资新技术,以改善对阀门现场天然气管道逸散排放数据的跟踪, 仪表站和压缩机站. 该技术将改善操作和监管报告活动,从而提高计划维护活动的能力.
CASE STUDY:
投资前沿技术
TC能源公司正在创作一部小说, utility-scale solar-plus-storage electricity generation facility near Aldersyde, Alberta, 在阿尔伯塔省减排局的支持下. 该项目将使用最先进的双面太阳能电池板,双面利用反射地面覆盖的间接阳光,如阿尔伯塔省冬季被雪覆盖的地面. 液流电池存储技术还将允许太阳能存储长达8小时,以备电力需求高峰时使用.
该创新项目将通过生产零排放的可再生能源,直接为温室气体减排带来效益,以满足3个国家的需求,000 homes. The project will also help prove the technical and commercial viability of these technologies for wider scale adoption.
