據(jù)管道&天然氣雜志網(wǎng)4月7日卡爾加里報道，加拿大最大的管道公司TC 能源公司和Enbridge Inc .首席執(zhí)行官周三表示，在向清潔能源轉(zhuǎn)型的過程中，兩家公司在廣泛的天然氣業(yè)務(wù)中看到了機遇。

這兩家總部位于卡爾加里的公司是北美最大的能源基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施公司之一，他們的大部分業(yè)務(wù)集中在儲存和運輸化石燃料。

TC能源公司擁有北美最大的天然氣管道系統(tǒng)，該公司首席執(zhí)行官Fran?ois Poirier表示，公司看到了大量的機會，可以通過有機附加項目的形式將資金配置到該業(yè)務(wù)中。

Poirier在網(wǎng)上舉行的加拿大豐業(yè)銀行（Scotiabank）CAPP能源研討會上表示，隨著能源轉(zhuǎn)型的推進(jìn)，以及旨在減少溫室氣體排放的新技術(shù)(如碳捕捉和儲存以及氫)的開發(fā)，儲存和運輸資產(chǎn)將是關(guān)鍵。從我們的角度來看，轉(zhuǎn)型的速度還不夠快，但我們必須適當(dāng)調(diào)整節(jié)奏。我相信在未來幾十年，天然氣和液體將繼續(xù)在能源經(jīng)濟(jì)中發(fā)揮重要作用。我相信，我們現(xiàn)有的資產(chǎn)將在相當(dāng)長一段時間內(nèi)繼續(xù)使用，并產(chǎn)生大量現(xiàn)金流，我們將能夠部署到能源轉(zhuǎn)型中。

Enbridge首席執(zhí)行官Al-Monaco在同一次會議上表示，他認(rèn)為天然氣是能源轉(zhuǎn)型的“偉大推動者”，因為天然氣是支持可再生能源的可靠能源。它成本低，資源豐富，對減少煤炭的利用很重要，但對培育可再生能源也同樣重要。

兩家公司也都在投資清潔能源項目，并研究開發(fā)運輸氫的技術(shù)。

Canadian Pipeline Companies See Natgas Opportunities in Shift to Green Energy

Canada's largest pipeline companies TC Energy and Enbridge Inc see opportunities in their extensive natural gas businesses as a transition to cleaner energy evolves, their chief executives said on Wednesday.

The two Calgary-based companies are among North America's largest energy infrastructure firms, and the majority of their business is focused on storing and transporting fossil fuels.

TC Energy has the biggest natural gas pipeline system in North America, and CEO Fran?ois Poirier said the company sees plenty of opportunities to allocate capital to that business in the form of organic bolt-on projects.

Storage and transportation assets will be key as the energy transition moves forward and new technologies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions like carbon capture and storage and hydrogen are developed, Poirier said at the online Scotiabank CAPP Energy Symposium.

"Transition can't come fast enough from our perspective but we have to pace it appropriately. I believe natural gas and liquids will continue to play a prominent role in the energy economy for decades to come," he said.

"I believe our existing assets will continue to be used and be useful for quite a long time and generate a tremendous amount of cash flow that we will be able to deploy into the energy transition."

Enbridge CEO Al Monaco, speaking at the same conference, said he saw gas as the "great enabler" for the energy transition because it is a reliable source of power that can backstop renewables.

"It's low-cost, abundant, it's important in reducing utilization of coal, but it's equally important in fostering renewables. " he said.

Both companies are also investing in clean energy projects, and looking into developing technology to transport hydrogen.
