At Hardisty Energy Terminal, we acknowledge the direct and indirect impacts our operations have on the environment. We are committed to positioning ourselves as an environmentally responsible company, striving to minimize our ecological footprint in every aspect of our business activities.
Understanding that our operations can pose potential risks to the environment due to our reliance on natural resources such as energy, water, and building materials, we are dedicated to implementing practices that significantly reduce any negative impact. We have set high environmental standards for ourselves and actively pursue initiatives to uphold these standards.
Environmental considerations are integral to our Health, Safety, Security, and Environment (HSSE) management system. Our HSSE policy emphasizes the efficient use of energy and raw materials, the prevention of environmental pollution, and the promotion of environmental awareness among our staff. We collect and track data related to product releases, energy and water usage, and waste generation at our terminal. This information is translated into key performance indicators (KPIs) that help us assess and improve our environmental performance. Additionally, we evaluate our impact on climate change through regular assessments of our carbon footprint.
As part of our proactive approach to environmental stewardship, we conduct regular groundwater quality monitoring at our terminal. The data collected is analyzed by our environmental experts to ensure compliance with environmental standards and regulations.
Hardisty Energy Terminal utilizes a range of direct and indirect energy sources to operate our facilities and support our operations. Direct energy consumption includes natural gas and fuel, essential for the operation of our pumps, boilers, and vehicles. Indirect energy sources, primarily electricity, power product pumps, facility lighting, and the computers in our offices. We also utilize district heating and imported steam when applicable.
Recognizing that the most energy-intensive activity at our terminal is the pumping operations, we diligently work to identify potential energy savings and enhance our efficiency. Our initiatives are guided by a comprehensive Energy Saving Strategy that allows us to pinpoint additional opportunities for energy savings tailored to our specific operational environment.
We are acutely aware of the environmental impact of our business activities and are dedicated to innovating solutions that enhance energy efficiency, optimize resource management, and support environmental protection initiatives. Various teams at our terminal focus on developing and implementing local energy, water, and waste-saving measures. Below, you will find examples of notable projects that reflect our commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability.
At Hardisty Energy Terminal, our goal is to balance operational excellence with environmental responsibility, ensuring a sustainable future for our community and the planet.
