Canadian National (CNI) Signs MoU for Clean Energy Terminal

Canadian National Railway Company CNI recently announced that it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Keyera Corp. The MoU is aimed at the opening of a specialized clean energy terminal in Alberta's Industrial Heartland, which is expected to assimilate conventional and clean energy from multiple sources to support the transportation of Alberta's diverse energy products and boost the development of Canada's green energy future.

Tracy Robinson, CN's President and CEO, stated, "This project capitalizes on a core CN strength: sustainably moving Canadian natural resources safely and efficiently to domestic and international markets." She further added, "We are pleased to be working with Keyera on this project which will benefit Alberta and the Canadian economy. The project will offer a unique opportunity to aggregate products from multiple producers and will provide an efficient mechanism to not only support Canadian industry but also further global energy transition."

Dean Setoguchi, Keyera's President and CEO, stated, "Together, Keyera and CN demonstrate how collaboration is key to creating sustainable solutions, meeting the evolving needs of our customers, and transporting high value products locally and abroad while supporting Canada's path to net-zero."

The clean energy terminal in Alberta's Industrial Heartland is expected to create new business opportunities in Alberta as well with access to global markets.

The integration should also help create a structured rail logistics solution in Alberta's Industrial Heartland. This should help transport low-cost sustainable energy products to key markets domestically and globally.
