Calgary, June 12, 2003 – KeySpan Energy Canada’s Brazeau River Gas Plant was chosen as a
finalist in this year’s 2003 Emerald Award in the “Climate Change” category. The Alberta Emerald
Foundation’s annual awards program recognizes the efforts of Albertans and Alberta businesses to
protect, enhance and sustain the environment.
The Brazeau River Gas Plant recently commissioned Alberta’s largest acid gas re-injection facility. By
re-injecting carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide into a depleted reservoir, the facility is reducing
carbon dioxide emissions associated with the gas plant and is currently achieving a 100% reduction in
sulphur dioxide emissions.
"This investment in the Brazeau River Gas Plant is an example of one of our corporate business
objectives, to lower emissions and increase the plant’s processing capacity. This additional capacity
comes at a time when our customers are anxious to bring on new supplies of natural gas to effectively
meet the increasing North American demand. In addition, the project contributes to the provincial and
federal action plans on climate change. It is clearly a win – win project," says KeySpan's President, Jim
Bertram.
This is the second time the Emerald Award Foundation has recognized KeySpan’s environmental
management achievements. KeySpan received the 2002 Emerald Award for the Rimbey Gas Plant’s
Clean Air Initiative in the “Large Business” category.
