Our Montreal refinery is located in the east end of the island of Montreal and has been part of the community since 1955 when the facility began refining crude oil.

The majority of the oil that our Montreal refinery receives is from inland North American sources, with the rest coming from the east coast off Newfoundland and occasionally from the North Sea. It can be supplied through several channels, including via Enbridge’s Line 9, the Portland Montreal Pipeline, by marine transportation and by rail for inland crudes.

The refinery produces a full range of refined petroleum products that includes gasoline, distillate, heavy fuel oil, solvents, asphalt and petrochemicals. It is also a leading producer of petrochemical products.

Refined products are distributed primarily across Quebec and Ontario and are delivered to distribution terminals and customers via the Trans-Northern Pipeline, truck, rail and marine vessel.

Reducing our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

The GHG emissions at our Montreal refinery are subject to Quebec’s cap-and trade system, while the Montreal sulphur plant is a voluntary participant of the cap-and-trade system.

Over the past decade, we’ve invested significantly in projects and technologies to lower our base business GHG emissions.

The GHG emission reductions rely on, among other things, our ability to implement and improve energy efficiency at all of our facilities, future development and growth opportunities, development and deployment of new technologies, ability to sequester and capture carbon, investment in low-carbon power and hydrogen, as well as a transition to low-carbon fuels.
