When you are building a mine in remote areas's without power...you normally  rely on power generation..diesel.

But, now.."someone" building a mine  in "remote locations of Northern Ontario", will able to get compressed natural gas transported to them,

Much cheaper to operate on Natural gas power as opposed to diesel when building mines. Lower emissions too.

CERTARUS LTD. ANNOUNCES STRATEGIC ALLIANCE AND COMMERCIAL INVESTMENT AGREEMENT WITH ENBRIDGE INC. FOR THE EXPANSION OF NATURAL GAS SUPPLY TO REMOTE LOCATIONS IN NORTHERN ONTARIO TORONTO, ONTARIO

(May 23rd , 2019) Certarus Ltd.

("Certarus" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Union Energy Solutions Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Enbridge Inc., collectively (“Enbridge”), enabling a strategic alliance and commercial investment by Enbridge into Certarus’ compressed natural gas (CNG) infrastructure platform to service the northern Ontario industrial sectors.

Certarus expects this strategic alliance will further advance its bulk CNG platform to key regions within Northern Ontario that are currently not serviced by natural gas pipelines. Certarus has developed a North American-wide bulk CNG platform to bring cost effective, environmentally preferred, natural gas safely and reliably to end users.

Certarus’ first terminal, located in Timmins, Ontario, is currently supplying large scale mining operations in the region. Certarus proactively built out capacity to displace over 500,000 liters of fuel per day with additional availability to expand.

Through this agreement, Certarus will expand its CNG service offering into additional projects in mining, forestry, and industrial activity currently running on diesel, bunker oil or propane.

Supplying natural gas directly to industrial and commercial end-users, will provide a reliable supply of clean, cost effective energy to help support government mandates to promote cleaner-burning fuels. "We see the increased adoption of CNG as an opportunity to displace diesel, propane and bunker oil to promote cost savings and reduce environmental impacts.

Certarus operates the largest bulk CNG trailer fleet in North America and has built over 18 large-scale bulk CNG compression hubs across North America. We serve customers in all major industries across North America and are increasingly supporting customers in Northern Ontario’s key industries that can benefit from the Certarus mobile pipeline." said Nathan Ough, Vice President of Certarus.

“Access to a reliable and economic energy choice is a game changer for northern Ontario,” said Cynthia Hansen, President of Utility and Power Operations, Enbridge Inc. "Through CNG, large businesses can significantly lower their energy costs, be more competitive and create local jobs.” Outside of the Corporation’s first terminal in Timmins, Ontario, Certarus is constructing additional CNG terminals in Red Rock (Thunder Bay Region), Ontario during Q2 2019 and in southern Ontario during Q1 2020. 2 ABOUT CERTARUS Certarus Ltd is the North American market leader in providing a fully integrated bulk compressed natural gas (CNG) solution.

The primary business is the creation of a “Virtual Natural Gas Pipeline” through the compression, transportation and integration of CNG for the utility, energy services, mining, forestry, agricultural and industrial sectors. For more information, please visit www.certarus.com

Certarus provides a turn key solution for all conversion requirements from Propane to clean burning Compressed Natural Gas. Our in-house team of Professional Engineers project manages all application conversion requirements from start to finish.

Geographical and economic constraints can prevent or delay the construction of natural gas pipelines and connection to the main electricity grid.

Historically, diesel and propane have been the only choices available for generating off grid electricity, heating and fuel, leaving mining operations susceptible to higher carbon tax and price fluctuations.

Certarus provides a unique alternative to conventional power and heating generation which reduces operating costs, provides cost certainty for life of mine budgeting and can lower the overall carbon footprint of the operation.
