Emissions Reduction Alberta commits $2M to four carbon capture projects

Two projects at the University of Alberta called ACTION and ENSURE will be receiving a combined $1.2M from Emissions Reduction Alberta to investigate carbon capture, utilization, and storage projects. The ACTION project is focused on CO2 transport, utilization, and storage networks, while the ENSURE project is focused on effective monitoring of long-term site stability for transparent carbon capture and storage hazard assessment. The projects are being conducted in partnership with partners from countries like France and Norway. “The task of scaling-up and deploying CCUS technologies is too great for one company, one organization, or one jurisdiction to take on alone,” said ERA CEO Steve MacDonald. “Building on our international relationships and credibility, ERA is helping to find solutions by bringing the world to Alberta, and by taking Alberta’s innovation to the world.” Canadian Biomass Magazine| UAlberta Note: Archived stories may contain dead links or be missing source links.
