Keyera, Shell to Collaborate on Low-Carbon Projects

Keyera Corp. (TSE: KEY) and Shell (NYSE: SHEL) have signed an agreement to advance clean energy.

Developing Low-Carbon Energy Projects

In addition, Keyera will leverage an existing pipeline able of transporting hydrogen to complement a hydrogen distribution and manufacturing network in the region.
