RENEWABLE AND GREEN ENERGY DEVELOPMENT
Enbridge has a role to play in the responsible use of energy. We are investing today to encourage the use of renewable and alternative energy including wind power and new energy technology such as fuel cells.
We are also positioning ourselves for the future by participating in the emerging technology of carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, pipelining and sequestration, and participating in research for the safe transport of ethanol through pipelines.
CO2 Capture, Pipelining and Sequestration
Enbridge plans to be a leading participant in CO2 capture, pipelining and sequestration developments, which are widely considered to be one of the most immediate and meaningful ways to reduce overall CO2 emissions and address the challenges posed by climate change.
In early 2008, Enbridge announced it will lead a group of 20 energy industry participants in the Alberta Saline Aquifer Project (ASAP), a broad-based, industry-supported initiative to investigate the feasibility of the long-term commercial sequestration of CO2 in deep saline aquifers.
ASAP builds on our carbon reinjection experience in Texas gas processing facilities. It is the first project of its kind in Canada and will play a major role in advancing industry and government’s knowledge of CO2 sequestration.
FUEL CELL POWER PLANT
Enbridge’s leading-edge Direct FuelCell®-Energy Recovery Generation (DFC®-ERG) Power Plant is a global first–producing ultra-clean electricity from energy that is recovered from natural gas pipeline systems.
In 2007, Enbridge completed construction of Phase 1 of its fuel cell pilot plant and began constructing Phase 2. The compact power plant will eventually produce 2.2 megawatts of electricity, enough to provide power to 1,500 residences.
Once the pilot plant is built, we plan to replicate it throughout our pipeline network in Ontario, and the DFC®-ERG will be marketed to other natural gas pipeline companies throughout North America.
