Two Calgary-led carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects are receiving funding as part of Emissions Reduction Alberta’s (ERA) international partnership with Accelerating CCS Technologies (ACT).
ERA is committing $1.7 million to the two projects worth $8 million. Funding is sourced from Alberta’s industry-funded Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) fund.
These innovative Alberta-based projects were selected through the ACT consortium’s ACT4 Call.
Both projects involve development, scale-up, field testing, piloting, demonstration, or deployment of technology within Alberta or Alberta-based companies working on technology in a partner’s region.
The two Calgary-led projects selected are:
Carbon Management Canada – Develop a low-cost, high resolution monitoring technology for CO2 storage facilities.
ERA funding: $1,100,000 | Project value: $6,100,000
Location: Calgary | ACT partners: Norway, United States
Carbon Upcycling Technologies – Bind CO2 into a variety of feedstocks to create cementitious materials for use in concrete.
ERA funding: $600,000 | Project value: $1,900,000
Location: Calgary & Golden, Colorado | ACT partners: United States
Repsol Canada
Investigate the feasibility for permanent storage of CO2 in depleted gas reservoirs
ERA funding: $1,300,000 | Project value: $3,300,000
Location: Edson, Alberta | ACT partners: United States
