Alternative Technologies
The public's focus on conservation and climate change continues to motivate governments to increase their emphasis on energy efficiency and green energy initiatives. At Enbridge, we believe in doing our part to contribute to the future by investing in renewable and alternative energy technologies that complement our core operations and provide environmental benefits.
Our investments in alternative energy projects include:
- world's first commercial application of integrated energy recovery and fuel cell technology (2.2 MW)
- four waste heat recovery facilities (20 MW)
Alternative energy technologies, together with our investments in renewable energy, make up our green energy portfolio.
100% owned and operated by Enbridge and its affiliates, except where less than full ownership/operatorship is indicated.
