On November 2, 2024, the Government of Alberta released the Draft Protocol for CO2 Capture and Permanent Geologic Sequestration (draft protocol) for public comment. The changes to the draft protocol represent the collaborative approach of Alberta Environment and Protected Areas to continually improve the functionality of Alberta’s Emission Offset System in regard to CCS development and deployment.
We encourage all parties that may be impacted to provide feedback on the draft protocol. The comment period closes Monday, December 2 at 5:00 pm MST with comments to be submitted using this comments table and sent by email to epa.ghg@gov.ab.ca. [November 2024]
The International CCS Knowledge Centre and Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA) have launched the Lessons Learned report from the Carbon Capture Kickstart (CCK) program. Since 2022, the CCK program has set new standards for carbon capture in Canada, supporting eleven FEED studies across sectors like oil & gas, cement, power, and forestry. This report captures technical and economic insights to guide projects toward Final Investment Decisions and operational readiness by 2030. Key areas covered include site considerations, energy needs, and CO₂ transport. [October 2024]
The International CCS Knowledge Centre has launched the Getting to FID Report!
Funded by the Government of Alberta and developed with insights from Emission Reductions Alberta's Getting to FID Executive Series, this report serves as a comprehensive guide for understanding the critical elements to consider before making final investment decisions for CCS projects.
