Providing reliable,
affordable energy
to Virginia
Virginia had a seemingly intractable energy problem. It needed to increase energy capacity while at the same time reducing emissions. TC Energy proposed a solution: the Virginia Electrification Project. It’s an expansion and reliability plan that helps avoid outages and saves emissions equivalent to 6,800 cars annually. Not only will it reduce emissions, but also help Virginia have more sustainable and reliable power.

Natural Gas

LNG possible
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is one lower-emissions way to keep communities powered up. But it takes a steady supply of natural gas to make LNG go. And that’s where TC Energy’s vast North American infrastructure comes in, by delivering natural gas to multiple coastal hubs, where it’s converted to LNG and dispatched to the places where it can meet critical demand.

The goal of clean energy is to bring down emissions, right? Well, what if, along with renewable energy, we could capture the carbon dioxide released by other energy sources and safely move it to storage? That way, we can minimize CO2 emissions across the board and transition to cleaner energy sources in a more sustainable way. This is the kind of energy problem TC Energy is solving right now.
Creating

energy from
happy hour
What if happy hour helped create renewable energy? TC Energy is doing just that with a $29.3 million investment in a renewable natural gas (RNG) production facility near the Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchburg, TN. Once operational, the facility will capture a byproduct of the distilling process to generate methane gases. Those gasses will be recovered to produce pipeline-quality RNG that will be directly connected to a local natural gas utility.

Cleaner Energy is Happening
To solve the world’s energy problems, we must explore all available avenues, including nuclear. Nuclear energy has a storied history, beginning nearly 70 years ago. Over the years, scientists and energy engineers from around the world have learned a great deal about how to manage nuclear power, ensuring a growing population has access to low-emission energy.
At TC Energy, we are speeding progress by investing in a diverse range of energy solutions, including nuclear. Through TC Energy’s investment in one of the largest nuclear sites in the world, we are helping provide 30% of all energy in Ontario. Not to mention the 4,000 jobs created and billions of dollars injected into the local community. All done with zero carbon emissions.
This is what the future of abundant, diverse, cleaner energy can look like. A combination of many different energy types and sources combined to reduce emissions and improve access for millions of people. Nuclear is just one way TC Energy is committed to sustainable solutions for today’s complex energy problems.
Building Hydrogen Hubs
Trucks move roughly 72% of America’s freight by weight each year, delivering the goods we all rely on every day. Imagine if many of those trucks stopped using carbon-emitting fossil fuels and started using hydrogen-powered electric fuel cells. We’d be able to remove millions of metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) from the atmosphere.
That’s why TC Energy is co-developing hydrogen production and distribution hubs to one day supply electric trucks with the hydrogen they need to power their fuel cells. If hydrogen power sounds familiar, it’s because it’s the same fuel used to power rockets. Like those rockets, hydrogen-powered fuel cells use compressed hydrogen gas, but unlike a rocket, the fuel isn’t burned. Instead, it’s fed into a fuel cell stack that transforms the hydrogen’s chemical energy into electricity that powers an electric motor. It’s essentially an electric car, but rather than plugging it into a charge port, it’s filled with zero-emitting hydrogen gas.
This kind of hydrogen infrastructure will play a part in what could one day be a carbon-free shipping industry. It’s one way TC Energy is finding new ways to solve complex energy problems and ensure a safer, cleaner energy future.
Renewable, Carbon-Free Energy
As North Americans want to transition to lower and zero-carbon energy sources, but they also need them to be reliable and secure. TC Energy is leading the way by creating a portfolio of carbon-free energy solutions. The individual sources aren’t new -- they’re tried-and-true carbon-free energy sources like solar, wind, and pumped storage. What makes TC Energy’s problem-solving approach unique is offering a product that ensures access to renewable energy around the clock.
Our portfolio can solve the intermittency problems often associated with carbon-free energy. When clouds cover the sun or the wind is slow, we can still rely on a variety of other energy production and storage systems like pumped storage to compensate and provide reliable energy morning and night.
By exploring ways carbon-free energy sources can be interconnected to reduce intermittency and increase reliability, TC Energy is proving to be an indispensable part of North America’s energy future.
