ATCO - Gas Pathways to Net Zero

11:00am - 11:45am

Workshop Session B

ATCO is a utility provider of both electricity and natural gas in Alberta and has announced a comprehensive set of 2030 ESG targets including reducing operational and customer emissions, growing our renewable energy footprint, and a commitment to achieving net zero by 2050. Affordably decarbonizing space and water heating in Alberta homes and businesses is collective challenge. What are the best pathways for achieving this? As a leader in the energy transition, ATCO believes that each source of energy should be used for its most appropriate purpose and used as efficiently as possible. In this workshop, ATCO Gas will discuss how innovations in the gas distribution system can enable a sustainable net zero future.
