Canada’s CCS Story
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a crucial part of Canada’s long-term energy and environment strategies, and Canada has the essential components to make CCS a success.
We have:
- Many large industrial CO2 emission sources where capture can occur
- World-class geological storage locations that are close to the capture locations
- Engineering expertise developed over 100 years of oil and gas development
Successful development and implementation of CCS will enable Canada to meet its international and domestic commitments to reduce greenhouse gases in a way that will also:
- Reduce the environmental impact of oil sands resources so they can continue to create jobs and wealth, and
- Help establish a secure electricity supply by enabling the clean use of Canada’s abundant coal resources.
