Energy Transition
We believe in an energy transition that is fair and just and are committed to finding innovative solutions that extend the life of existing assets and create economic opportunities.
TRANSITIONING TO A SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FUTURE
Decarbonization is key to Heartland Generation's future success and crucial to our global wellbeing.
We understand the importance of what happens today, and believe we are well positioned to help support our industry through the clean energy transition.
We have made great strides in reducing our impact on the environment, but we know that more is needed. We are committed and working toward our goal of net zero by 2050 and support Canada's increased commitment to lowering emissions through the Paris Agreement.
Where We Are Today
Highly Efficient Cogeneration
One of the largest co-generation operators within the province of Alberta, providing efficient lower-carbon baseload power to our customers.
Renewables Backstop
Supporting renewable development with our highly flexible peaker assets, which provide critical grid stability during times of peak demand
Coal-to-Gas Conversions
The first large-scale generator in Alberta to transition off coal, reducing emissions intensities at these facilities by 45-50 percent
Portfolio & Asset Optimization
Creating optimization and operating efficiencies to reduce emissions and drive down costs
Our Focus Going Forward
Hydrogen
Adapting existing power infrastructure to generate clean, 100 percent hydrogen-fueled electricity and support developing hydrogen markets
Carbon Capture & Sequestration
Capturing and storing third-party and Heartland Generation's carbon emissions to decarbonize Alberta
Renewables & Storage
Exploring renewable development opportunities at existing Heartland Generation facilities
Decarbonization in a Decade
Battle River Carbon Hub (BRCH)
BRCH is Alberta’s first large-scale 100 percent hydrogen-fired power generation project that integrates hydrogen production, carbon sequestration and clean power.
Blue Diamond Project
Alberta’s first large-scale 100 percent hydrogen-fired power generation facility.
