UAlberta, UCalgary receive federal funding for carbon capture research

The University of Alberta and the University of Calgary have both received federal funding to support research projects in carbon capture, utilization, and storage. These investments—$4.3M for UCalgary and $1.8M for UAlberta—are part of a broader $13.4M Government of Canada funding initiative to support made-in-Alberta carbon capture technologies while growing jobs in the province, bolstering economic prosperity, and advancing sustainability. “This investment will play a pivotal role in transforming Canada’s energy system,” said UAlberta VP, Research and Innovation Dr Aminah Robinson Fayek. “By advancing carbon capture, utilization and storage, we are building a cleaner, more sustainable future for Canada and beyond.”
