While carbon capture is widely seen as the main means of decarbonizing Canada’s energy industry, its potential remains mostly untapped
The Calgary Herald, in conjunction with Conversations Live, will shine a spotlight on the future of carbon capture in Canada as part of a panel discussion at Platform Calgary on Oct. 1. Readers are invited to attend in-person or to watch a livestreamed video to be hosted on this page. Further details can be found at the end of this post.
The technology, also known as CCUS, takes greenhouse gas emissions from industrial processes — including those used for the production of oil and gas — and stores them deep underground.
Yet, the potential of carbon capture, utilization and storage remains mostly untapped.
While property rights in Alberta would be beneficial to whoever wishes to undertake CCUS projects, continuing concerns about who pays the bills have been holding efforts back.
While progress has been slow, the pace has started to pick up.
Still, most of these initiatives remain plans on paper and have yet to see shovels in the ground.
Under this backdrop, industry leaders will gather in Calgary to discuss what the future holds for carbon capture.
Join Deborah Yedlin (Calgary Chamber), Ian MacGregor (Sturgeon Refinery), Claude Laterneau (Svante), Peter Tertzakian (ARC Energy), Justin Riemer (Emissions Reduction Alberta), and Zach Parston (KPMG) with host Stuart McNish of Conversations Live on Tuesday, Oct. 1 at 6 p.m., as they chat about the challenges and potential of a technology that could transform Canada’s energy sector.
