TC Energy's Carbon Emissions & Climate Commitments (Natural Gas Liquids, CA)

TC Energy, headquartered in Canada, is actively working to reduce its carbon footprint within the Natural Gas Liquids industry.

In 2024, TC Energy's reported Scope 1 emissions were approximately 22.35 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions around 400 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for the same year totalled approximately 4.17 billion kg CO2e, including about 7.54 million kg CO2e from business travel, 2.84 million kg CO2e from employee commute, 6.18 million kg CO2e from upstream leased assets, 19.75 million kg CO2e from waste generated in operations, and 4.14 billion kg CO2e from fuel and energy related activities.

Looking back, in 2023, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 20.90 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 2.04 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 4.43 billion kg CO2e. This included around 6.61 million kg CO2e from business travel, 14.95 million kg CO2e from upstream leased assets, 60.87 million kg CO2e from waste generated in operations, and 4.35 billion kg CO2e from fuel and energy related activities.

Further historical data shows:

• 2022: Scope 1 emissions were about 21.13 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions around 2.11 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions about 3.52 billion kg CO2e.
• 2021: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 19.89 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions around 2.08 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions about 3.18 billion kg CO2e.
• 2020: Scope 1 emissions were about 18.17 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions around 1.95 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions about 2.69 billion kg CO2e.
• 2019: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 18.96 billion kg CO2e, with location-based Scope 2 emissions around 552.23 million kg CO2e.
• 2018: Scope 1 emissions were about 13.75 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions around 2.34 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions about 3.03 billion kg CO2e.
• 2017: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 12.50 billion kg CO2e.
• 2016: Scope 1 emissions were about 16.12 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions around 350 million kg CO2e.

TC Energy has committed to significant reductions, targeting a 30 per cent reduction in GHG emissions intensity from its operations (Scope 1 and Scope 2) by 2030, with a 2019 baseline. Additionally, the company aims for net-zero Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050. TC Energy is also setting a methane intensity reduction target of 40 to 55 per cent by 2035 for its Scope 1 methane emissions from natural gas transmission and storage assets, using a 2019 baseline.
