slot demo pragmatic play Diminishing global GHG emissions with liquified natural gas
Natural gas will continue to be essential in the energy transition, helping to reduce global GHG emissions. With over 70 years of expertise and a continent-spanning energy network, TC Energy is poised to be the first and only energy infrastructure company delivering North America’s abundant natural gas supply to LNG export facilities in Canada, the United States and Mexico.
In Canada, the completed Coastal GasLink (CGL) pipeline is the first direct path for Canadian natural gas to reach global LNG markets. In the U.S., we transport nearly 30 per cent of all North American LNG feedstock for export from the Appalachian and Haynesville basins to the U.S. Gulf Coast. And in Mexico, our connectivity provides LNG supply and flexibility to both Europe and Asia, as we support the displacement of coal-fired power generation globally and transition to lower-emission economies.
We are on track to be the first and only energy company delivering natural gas to LNG export facilities in Canada, the United States, and Mexico."

Through ongoing collaboration and dialogue with Indigenous groups, we have heard that Indigenous people want to share in the economic prosperity of Canada’s resource economy through ownership and resource development that will lead to greater economic self-sufficiency and self-determination.”
