Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an important tool used by the Canadian oil and gas Industry on its path to Net Zero. This website is a progress report on Alberta CCS projects.
Alberta has extensive underground reservoirs that make it the perfect place to employ CCS technology. Canadian companies are world leaders in CCS. By returning GHGs to places deep under the earth, where hydrocarbons have safely been stored for millions of years, Alberta is being transformed into a “Blue Energy” powerhouse that produces oil and gas products that the world needs in a low GHG-intensity manner.
But key questions must be asked: How quickly is this happening? What will be the cost?
This website’s purpose is to track the progress of key Alberta CCS projects. By clicking on links you can access detailed articles on CCS topics.

2. Progress on the Federal/Alberta Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
The Canadian and Alberta governments have made great progress towards a deal that restores the confidence of oil and gas companies that they can expand Canadian production to meet world energy demand. This will move forward the Oil Sands CCS project and put Canada on tract to grow as a world leader in energy, both clean and conventional.
