Reliable, Low-Cost Natural Gas
Cost-Advantaged Feedstocks with Decarbonization Optionality
Alberta’s Industrial Heartland (AIH) sits close to one of the world’s largest proven natural gas reserves, offering investors access to abundant, low-cost, and stable feedstock supply.
Anchored by the AECO pricing hub—historically among the lowest natural gas benchmarks in the world—AIH provides long-term cost certainty for energy-intensive operations such as petrochemicals, hydrogen, fertilizers, and clean fuels. Alberta natural gas traded 41% below U.S. prices on average between December 2015 and December 2025, with monthly spreads ranging from slightly above to more than 90% below Henry Hub.
With direct pipeline access to production basins and proximity to liquids and crude oil supply, AIH delivers integrated feedstock flexibility that few jurisdictions can match. These advantages position AIH as a North American hub that rivals global energy centres in both cost efficiency and carbon performance.
AIH’s natural gas ecosystem also supports next-generation low-carbon energy production. Existing carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) infrastructure enables investors to pair natural gas use with near-term decarbonization options, lowering both emissions and overall project risk.
Strategic advantages for capital-intensive projects
Lowest Cost Feedstock in North America
AECO natural gas prices consistently trade below global benchmarks such as Henry Hub, offering investors predictable input costs and improved project economics.
Scalable,
Reliable Supply
Extensive pipeline infrastructure connects AIH directly to prolific Western Canadian gas fields, ensuring supply security and scalability for major industrial users.
CCUS-Ready
Integration
Existing carbon capture and storage systems offer immediate pathways for lower-emission natural gas use, reducing net carbon intensity across operations.
Versatile Industrial Applications
AIH’s natural gas feedstock supports diverse industrial uses—from petrochemical and hydrogen production to ammonia, refining, and emerging clean-tech processes.
