ALTERNATIVE ENERGY GROUP

EVOLVING ENERGY

How we participate in the evolving energy world remains a key focus as we continue to enhance and effectively grow our energy franchise. Energy Transfer’s Alternative Energy Group actively pursues pathways to multi-source energy projects that complement our extensive midstream assets and strives to help reduce our environmental footprint in a manner that makes economic sense.

ENERGY INITIATIVES

Our engineering and operations teams are constantly working to explore ways to reduce emissions across our facilities. Various opportunities include carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) projects, infrastructure to support hydrogen and ammonia projects, and renewable fuels. We also continue to look at using our land positions for renewable energy projects and forestry carbon credit projects in partnership with third-party developers. We are pursuing several carbon projects related to our assets, including projects that capture CO2 from processing plants for use in enhanced oil recovery or carbon sequestration.

ENVIRONMENTAL PARTNERSHIP

Energy Transfer is a member of The Environmental Partnership, a growing coalition of nearly 100 energy companies committed to continuously improving the industry’s environmental performance. The non-profit organization is focused on working with its members to adopt technology and best practices that will significantly reduce emissions.

CARBON CAPTURE AND SEQUESTRATION

We continue to pursue carbon capture opportunities. We believe our strategically positioned franchise will allow us to participate in projects to provide carbon dioxide pipeline solutions to several CCS projects being developed by third parties. We are also pursuing CCS projects related to our assets, including the capture of carbon dioxide from processing and treating plants for permanent sequestration, or for use in enhanced oil recovery.

CAPTUREPOINT

Energy Transfer and CapturePoint LLC signed of a revised Letter of Intent (LOI) in May of 2024 that provides for the joint development of a carbon capture and permanent deep underground storage project in Louisiana. It has the potential to be one of the largest onshore deep underground carbon storage centers in the U.S., with the capacity to permanently secure millions of tons of carbon dioxide annually that would have otherwise been emitted into the atmosphere.

BLUE AMMONIA

We continue to develop an ammonia hub concept at Lake Charles, Louisiana and Nederland, Texas where we have deep water access at our existing facilities. This hub concept would allow us to provide critical infrastructure services to several blue ammonia facilities, including natural gas supply, CO2 transportation to third-party sequestration sites, ammonia storage and deep-water marine loading services. This hub concept is expected to promote economies of scale and efficiencies as compared to individual, standalone blue ammonia projects, and the market response to this approach has been favorable.

TEXAS

We are developing a carbon dioxide pipeline solution for the Houston to Port Arthur/ Beaumont industrial corridor. With multiple sources of carbon dioxide in and around these regions and high-quality sequestration sites within this corridor, we’re working with several customers to introduce an open access carbon dioxide pipeline solution. We are pursuing several projects in South and West Texas to utilize the carbon dioxide captured from our natural gas treating facilities for permanent sequestration, enhanced oil recovery projects or e-fuel synthesis.

RENEWABLE NATURAL GAS

Energy Transfer is growing its Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) business with an increasing number of RNG interconnects. When certain businesses such as dairy/animal residuals, landfills, or wastewater treatment plants produce or handle organic waste, it can be repurposed into a clean, renewable fuel source called biogas. Biogas can be conditioned or upgraded to pipeline-quality natural gas, becoming RNG. Through our extensive gas system, we are able to safely and reliably transport RNG. At the end of 2022, we had eight RNG plants/interconnects in place, transporting over 5 billion cubic feet.

MAPLEWOOD 2 SOLAR PROJECT

The Maplewood 2 Solar Facility in West Texas delivers low-cost, clean power to Energy Transfer under a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). This PPA was Energy Transfer’s first-ever dedicated solar contract.

CLEAN AIR ACTION CORPORATION

We own approximately 6% interest in the Clean Air Action Corporation. For three decades, Clean Air Action has improved air quality through its tree planting program while providing income opportunities to farmers in Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, and India. Today, more than 100,000 farmers have planted over 20 million trees that protect against erosion, preserve biodiversity, and restore degraded land.

EIFFEL SOLAR PROJECT

Energy Transfer signed a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with San Francisco-based SB Energy for 120 megawatts of electricity from its Eiffel Solar project in northeast Texas. It is our second significant agreement to purchase low-cost solar power to help us meet our ERCOT load requirements for our operations throughout Texas.
