Pipeline Giant Eyes Renewables

摘要

Gas and liquids pipeline operator Energy Transfer has created a new division tasked with developing renewable energy projects"to reduce its environmental footprint throughout its operations."The Alternative Energy Group will focus on solar installations and wind farms,either as a power purchaser or in partnership with third-party developers,and will also look to develop renewable diesel and renewable natural gas opportunities when they make economic sense."These potential projects could involve the utilization of existing pipelines throughout Energy Transfer's extensive pipeline system,which consists of more than 90，000 miles of pipelines crossing 38 states，"the company said. The unit will be led by Tom Mason,Energy Transfer's general counsel for the past 14 years.
