TC Energy, one of North America’s leading energy infrastructure companies, is working to deliver that solution. The company transports more than 30 per cent of the cleaner-burning natural gas to meet global demand, connecting the biggest and best supply basins in North America to the world.
When I look at the growing demand for energy, whether it’s related to AI, data centers and LNG exports, power generation growth, or just residential, commercial loads, [natural gas] is going to be with us for a very, very, very long time
A highly strategic footprint
Today, TC Energy is delivering solutions to the world’s toughest energy challenges – including feeding LNG to global markets, reducing emissions and partnering with neighbors, customers and governments to build the energy system of the future.
One of TC Energy’s advantages is its extensive and unrivalled asset footprint. It is the only natural gas infrastructure company to operate across all three countries in North America –delivering energy to Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, and through LNG exports, around the world.
In its power and energy solutions segment, TC Energy’s strategy includes a 48.4 per cent ownership stake in Bruce Power, which provides 30 per cent of Ontario’s electricity. Nuclear energy offers a reliable, low-carbon power source crucial for balancing grid demand and integrating renewable energy sources.
The company’s strategic footprint allows TC Energy to offer an immediate and enduring solution to help reduce global emissions and capitalize on natural synergies between its natural gas and power businesses.
As emerging economies grow, so does demand for LNG. With global demand for LNG projected to rise by more than 50 per cent by 2040, TC Energy will be a critical player in global LNG markets.
In Canada, the company has completed the first direct path for Canadian natural gas to reach global LNG markets through its Coastal GasLink Pipeline. Once operational, it will deliver 100 per cent of Canada’s LNG feed, unlocking global access to some of the most responsibly produced LNG in the world. Simultaneously, in the U.S., TC Energy’s systems move approximately 30 per cent of the natural gas destined for LNG export to markets around the world. The company’s Gillis Access pipeline project serves the rapidly growing Louisiana LNG export market, while reducing the emissions intensity of its U.S. natural gas system.
In Mexico, TC Energy’s system transports 100 per cent of the feed gas that supported the first wave of Mexican LNG exports. The company is also building the Southeast Gateway Pipeline, which will be the backbone of infrastructure to connect natural gas to southeast Mexico. This investment has the potential to deliver enormous social and economic benefits by expanding access to affordable and cleaner energy.
“When I look at the growing demand for energy, whether it’s related to AI, data centers and LNG exports, power generation growth, or just residential, commercial loads, [natural gas] is going to be with us for a very, very, very long time. And despite being the world’s largest gas producer and a pretty darn big consumer, the United States has led the world in emissions reductions by 24 per cent from 2005 to 2020,” says Chapman.
A bright future ahead
TC Energy has strategically realigned its business to focus on natural gas and power and energy solutions. Its irreplaceable network of assets connects North America’s richest natural gas resources to where they are needed most – helping to provide secure and reliable energy that will have an impact on communities worldwide for generations to come.
“Whether it’s with Indigenous groups in Canada or with the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) in Mexico, partnerships are key to our success. In Mexico, the CFE doesn’t look at our 700 km subsea pipeline project [Southeast Gateway] we’re building for them as just a gas project. They look at it as a social investment that is going to bridge the energy poverty gap between northern Mexico and southern Mexico and bring reliable, affordable, clean energy to millions, many of whom are getting that for the very first time in their lives,” said Chapman. “That’s what makes me excited about what we do as a company, and that’s why I stay engaged in my work.”
With record demand for energy, the outlook for TC Energy has never been stronger. As the only company to operate across all three major North American markets TC Energy is uniquely positioned to deliver secure, affordable, reliable energy to meet growing global energy demand while reducing emissions.
