To facilitate the growth of CCUS technologies, Alberta is enabling carbon sequestration rights through a competitive process that enables the development of carbon storage hubs. A carbon sequestration hub will be an area of pore space, such as rock formations, overseen by a company who can effectively plan and enable carbon sequestration of captured carbon dioxide from various emissions sources as a service to industrial clients.

In 2022, Alberta selected 6 proposals to begin exploring how to safely develop carbon storage hubs in the region. They are:

Meadowbrook Hub Project, Bison Low Carbon Ventures Inc. for a potential sequestration hub north of Edmonton

Open Access Wabamun Carbon Hub, Enbridge Inc. for a potential sequestration hub west of Edmonton

Origins Project, Enhance Energy Inc. for a potential sequestration hub south of Edmonton

Alberta Carbon Grid™, Pembina Pipeline Corp. and TC Energy Corp. for a potential sequestration hub north and northeast of Edmonton

Atlas Carbon Sequestration Hub (Atlas Hub), Shell Canada Ltd., ATCO Energy Solutions Ltd., and Suncor Energy Inc., for a potential sequestration hub east of Edmonton

Wolf Midstream and partners for a potential sequestration hub east of Edmonton

A second competition was launched to provide carbon storage services to regions across the rest of the province not covered by the first round. Alberta selected 19 proposals to begin exploring how to safely develop carbon storage hubs:

Athabasca Banks Carbon Hub, Vault 44.01 Ltd. and Moraine Initiatives Ltd. for a potential sequestration hub north of Whitecourt

Battle River Carbon Hub, Heartland Generation Ltd. for a potential sequestration hub east of Red Deer

Bow River Hub, Inter Pipeline Ltd. and Entropy Inc. for a potential sequestration hub north of Calgary

Brazeau Carbon Sequestration Hub, Tidewater Midstream & Infrastructure Ltd. for a potential sequestration hub west of Edmonton

Central Alberta Hub, Wolf Carbon Solutions Inc. and Whitecap Resources Inc. for a potential sequestration hub east of Red Deer

East Calgary Region Carbon Sequestration Hub, Reconciliation Energy Transition Inc. (RETI) for a potential Southern Alberta sequestration hub

Grande Prairie Net Zero Gateway; NorthRiver Midstream Inc., Keyera Corp., and Entropy Inc. for a potential sequestration hub north of Grande Prairie

Greenview Region CCS Project, ARC Resources Ltd. for a potential sequestration hub southeast of Grande Prairie

Maskwa Project, Kiwetinohk Energy Corp. for a potential sequestration hub around Swan Hills

North Drumheller Hub, Bison Low Carbon Ventures Inc. for a potential sequestration hub north of Drumheller

Oil Sands Pathways to Net Zero; Pathways Alliance for a potential sequestration hub east of Edmonton

Opal Carbon Hub, Kiwetinohk Energy Corp. for a potential sequestration hub northwest of Whitecourt

Pincher Creek Carbon Sequestration Hub, West Lake Energy Corp. for a potential sequestration hub southeast of Pincher Creek

Project Clear Horizon, City of Medicine Hat for a potential sequestration hub northwest of Medicine Hat

Ram River Carbon Sequestration Hub, Tidewater Midstream & Infrastructure Ltd. for a potential sequestration hub west of Red Deer

Rocky Mountain Carbon Vault, Vault 44.01 Ltd. for a potential sequestration hub west of Edson

Rolling Hills Carbon Sequestration Hub, AltaGas Ltd. and Whitecap Resources Inc. for a potential sequestration hub northwest of Calgary

The Grande Prairie CCS Hub, Enhance Energy Inc. for a potential sequestration hub northeast of Grande Prairie

Tourmaline Clearwater CCUS, Tourmaline Oil Corp. for a potential sequestration hub south of Edson

Global Oil Security Looks Shakier as Conflicts Hit 45 Million Bpd of Supply

Almost half of the world’s oil supply is produced in regions currently engaged in hot conflicts, Reuters reported this week. The situation raises questions about long-term oil supply security and the limits to diversification. The Middle East, of course, is the most obvious and most disruptive example. While oil prices on speculative markets have remained capped by trader optimism, the physical supply of the vital energy commodity has been severely compromised, leading to rationing and emergency releases from storage across the world. Meanwhile,…

MIT Uses AI to Challenge a Century-Old Process for Mass Ammonia Production

Ammonia production consumes as much as 2% of the world's energy and generates roughly 1.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, largely because the industry still relies on a century-old process powered by fossil fuels. Roughly 80% of the 200 million metric tons of ammonia produced globally every year goes into nitrogen fertilizers, with the rest used in plastics, textiles, explosives and other industrial chemicals. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have now developed a new method that uses AI and quantum-mechanical…

Equinor Targets 27% International Production Growth by 2030

Alongside boosting exploration and production offshore its home market Norway, Equinor is pursuing an international growth strategy, aiming to significantly increase its overseas oil and gas output by focusing on fewer but more lucrative regions such as the U.S., Brazil, and Angola. In recent years, Equinor has streamlined and high-graded its portfolio outside Norway, selling assets and positions in Azerbaijan and Nigeria, to name a few. But Equinor has kept and grown its U.S., Brazilian, and Angolan businesses, and plans to keep these growing…

Octopus Boss Warns UK Is Too Exposed to Global Gas Prices

Octopus boss Greg Jackson has called on Andy Burnham to deliver “urgent reform” to the energy market to protect households from “volatile” gas prices. Jackson, founder of the UK’s biggest household electricity supplier, said: “The government’s decision to take VAT off electricity and remove some of the levies from bills has helped soften the blow this winter, but bills are still too high. “Britain remains far too exposed to volatile global gas prices. The wars in Ukraine and Iran have created an unprecedented…
