TC Energy Corp to switch to renewables to run its networks
Canadian pipeline operator TC Energy Corp (TRP) said that they could spend billions of dollars to lower emissions by switching to renewable energy to run its networks in North America.
“We started just with our liquids pipeline and it gives us really a lot of confidence that we’ll be able to pivot quickly to our natural gas pipeline business both in the U.S. and in Canada,” Corey Hessen, TC Energy’s president of power and storage, told Reuters in an interview.
The Calgary-based TC Energy, ships oil and gas through nearly 100,000 kilometres of pipelines, is one of the biggest networks in North America.
TC told Reuters that it is still in the process of quantifying how many tons of carbon emissions they would be able to save if they switch pipelines. The company will be using solar and wind, instead of natural gas.
