TC Energy Corp. (TC Energy), a leading North American energy infrastructure company, and GreenGasUSA, an owner and operator of renewable natural gas (RNG) value chain critical assets, have announced a strategic collaboration to explore development of a network of natural gas transportation hubs, including RNG. These transportation hubs would provide centralised access to existing energy transportation infrastructure for renewable natural gas sources, such as farms, wastewater treatment facilities and landfills.

As part of this collaboration, GreenGasUSA will originate RNG, which is the product of the decomposition of organic matter, condition the gas to pipeline quality and transport it to the RNG hub. This is underpinned by firm transportation contracts with TC Energy for the transport of RNG. TC Energy will build, own and operate the RNG transportation hubs, developing critical steps towards the acceleration of methane capture projects and thus the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. TC Energy’s experience in transporting RNG in the US dates to 2005. There are currently 10 RNG interconnects across TC Energy’s US Natural Gas footprint with plans to rapidly expand and provide more capability before the end of the year.

Combining TC Energy’s vast energy distribution network with GreenGasUSA’s extensive experience in gas compression, CNG transportation and pipeline injection is expected to further increase methane capture and increase the use of renewable fuels within the energy mix. These transportation hubs are expected to be under development in several states along TC Energy’s 32 700 mile US Natural Gas pipeline system within the next four years. The first hub is targeted for in service in 2Q23.

“As we continue to find innovative energy solutions for current and future customers, we value strategic collaboration opportunities like this one with GreenGasUSA to transport renewable natural gas,” said Stanley G. Chapman III, TC Energy’s Executive Vice President and President, US & Mexico Natural Gas. “We have embraced the growing role of RNG in our industry and continue to explore ways to optimise our existing US pipeline system in a collaborative, safe and sustainable manner.”

“We’re pleased to partner with TC Energy to develop these RNG hubs,” said Marc Fetten, owner of GreenGasUSA. “These are key steps to making the planet greener by connecting sources of renewable gas to energy consumers that are serious about decarbonisation and displacing fossil fuels.”
