CANvergence Energy Way | Canada’s First Multi-Use Energy Corridor – An infrastructure project linking oil, electricity, and emissions futures.

Proposed Features of the CEW

Shortest, fastest, and least expensive route for Alberta oil to tidewater is through Thunder Bay.

Mixed-Use

Oil, transmission and carbon sequestration.

Transition-oriented

Sunset fossil infrastructure and invest in infrastructure that supports education, leadership, and self-determined futures.

Unifying

Collaboration rooted in mutual respect and shared decision-making that multiple provinces, parties, and populations can rally around.

Sovereignty-forward

51% Ownership and decision-making must be visibly led by Indigenous and regional voices.

Supplies

Supplies renewable electricity into Northern Ontario.

Reduce Reliance

Reduce reliance on imports from other nations by making Canada’s oil reserves in the west accessible to its internal market and reliance on Enbridge’s Line 5 (72 years old).

Economic Benefits

Total project investment of $20 billion, $15 billion for an 1,800 km 1 million barrels a day pipeline from Hardisty and $5 billion for an HVDC Transmission Line from Manitoba to Thunder Bay.
Hundreds of significant construction jobs for Canada.
Full-time employment for operational jobs in Hardisty, Alberta and Thunder Bay, Ontario including maintenance jobs along the route.
Significant employment and training opportunities for Indigenous workers.
World pricing available to Alberta Oil exports.
Supply Canadian refineries, ensuring viability of Canadian refining industry.
New $250 million marine terminal on Thunder Bay waterfront.
Make use of underutilized St. Lawrence Seaway and reduce its unit operating cost.

Proposed Route

Hardisty, Alberta to Thunder Bay, Ontario

The proposed project involves the construction of a crude oil pipeline and marine terminal designed to link Canada’s oil production basins in Alberta to existing refining capacity on the east coast. The transmission line will extend approximately 1,800 kilometers and is expected to support a power capacity of 1,000 megawatts. Once completed, the pipeline will have the ability to transport up to one million barrels of crude oil per day, significantly strengthening Canada’s energy infrastructure and refining connectivity.

Thunder Bay Infrastructure

We make alternative energy extremely affordable.

What makes it different?

Timebound Oil Pipeline Infrastructure

This 42” pipeline, future compatible with CO₂ transport, transports oil from Alberta to Thunder Bay and links to refineries in Sarnia, Montreal, and Saint John via the Seaway.

HVDC Renewable Energy Transmission

1,000 MW capacity for moving Western Canadian hydro and wind energy and pumped storage capacity to new markets in Northern Ontario.

Thunder Bay Marine Terminal

A future hub for interprovincial energy, low-carbon shipping, and Indigenous-led economic development that secures Canadian export routes through domestic waters.
