Investing for the transition
EIEC is an example of how we're evaluating investments with a view to both emissions reduction and tomorrow's energy markets. Before acquiring the facility, we considered its resiliency to a range of energy transition scenarios, taking into account the EIEC's potential to produce and ship lower-carbon fuels-and to achieve net-zero operational emissions. While the facility's primary function today is grounded in global demand for conventional fuel, we invested based on our confidence that the EIEC could evolve alongside our own strategic priorities as well as changes in global energy needs.
Seizing the low-carbon opportunity at Ingleside
In May 2022, just eight months after the acquisition of Ingleside, we announced the development of an ultra-low carbon, utility-scale energy production facility to supply hydrogen and ammonia to U.S. and global markets. Although some carbon dioxide is generated in these production processes, newly developed carbon capture infrastructure, including at facilities owned and operated by Enbridge, will sequester
Bringing sustainable power and efficiency to the shipping facility
Built in 2018 to industry-leading environmental standards to minimize its own carbon emissions, the EIEC is an advanced crude export terminal, capable of servicing very large crude carriers (VLCCs) efficiently and cost-effectively. In keeping with Enbridge's program of lowering emissions across every part of our operations-including in the transport of conventional fuels-we are working to build a solar power project capacity at the site, making it one of the most sustainable export facilities in North America. We expect to be able to generate up to 60 MW of renewable power on the available land around the terminal, exceeding the facility's own power needs and creating the opportunity to offer renewable power to nearby industrial and refining facilities, while achieving a robust return on our investments.
Enbridge Ingleside Energy Center is a good example of how Enbridge is leveraging existing conventional energy assets and capabilities to extend growth and capitalize on low-carbon opportunities in the energy transition.
