据管道&天然气杂志网4月7日卡尔加里报道，加拿大最大的管道公司TC 能源公司和Enbridge Inc .首席执行官周三表示，在向清洁能源转型的过程中，两家公司在广泛的天然气业务中看到了机遇。
这两家总部位于卡尔加里的公司是北美最大的能源基础设施公司之一，他们的大部分业务集中在储存和运输化石燃料。
TC能源公司拥有北美最大的天然气管道系统，该公司首席执行官Fran?ois Poirier表示，公司看到了大量的机会，可以通过有机附加项目的形式将资金配置到该业务中。
Poirier在网上举行的加拿大丰业银行（Scotiabank）CAPP能源研讨会上表示，随着能源转型的推进，以及旨在减少温室气体排放的新技术(如碳捕捉和储存以及氢)的开发，储存和运输资产将是关键。从我们的角度来看，转型的速度还不够快，但我们必须适当调整节奏。我相信在未来几十年，天然气和液体将继续在能源经济中发挥重要作用。我相信，我们现有的资产将在相当长一段时间内继续使用，并产生大量现金流，我们将能够部署到能源转型中。
Enbridge首席执行官Al-Monaco在同一次会议上表示，他认为天然气是能源转型的“伟大推动者”，因为天然气是支持可再生能源的可靠能源。它成本低，资源丰富，对减少煤炭的利用很重要，但对培育可再生能源也同样重要。
两家公司也都在投资清洁能源项目，并研究开发运输氢的技术。

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.
