SCC FGR on gas turbine with mole sieve CCS
Strathcona Resources, in collaboration with Solar Turbines and Caterpillar Low Carbon Solutions, intends to build a commercial-scale demonstration of a Semi-Closed-Cycle (SCC) Flue-Gas-Recirculation (FGR) technology combined with a molecular sieve to effectively capture and store carbon. This technology will be applied on a gas turbine cogeneration system at our Lindbergh thermal oil facility near Cold…
BIOSALIX: Mine reclamation using and organic residuals to augment soil quality and underpin a cleantech economy through short rotation willow feedstock production
Reclaiming Mined Land, Utilizing Biosolids Waste, and Producing Biomass Feedstock Approved for funding through ERA’s Partnership Intake Program in 2019, Sylvis demonstrated their approach to improving soil and reclaiming old coal mines, while also producing biomass for feedstock. By completion in 2023, the project demonstrated proof-of-concept of the BIOSALIX mine reclamation system by utilizing municipal…
Lehigh Cement Edmonton CCUS Feasibility Study Project
Currently, the cement industry contributes as much as eight per cent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and it’s predicted the global demand for cement is expected to increase upwards of 23 per cent by 2050. Together, Lehigh Cement and the International CCS Knowledge Centre partnered to conduct a feasibility study to assess the technical…
Direct Carbon Conversion to Chemically Enhance Supplementary Cementitious Materials for Building Construction (MACE)
Cement and concrete production accounts for 8% of annual global CO2 emissions. Traditionally, cement producers have used supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) to reduce their emissions by offsetting cement, the most carbon-intensive ingredient in concrete. Current SCMs are derived from industrial byproducts like fly ash from coal plants or blast furnace slag from steelmaking. But, as…

Repsol Oil and Gas Canada Inc (Repsol), the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and University of Alberta (UAlberta) will prove the technical feasibility and assess potential leakage risk for CO2 geologic storage in an onshore, pressure-depleted gas reservoir. The candidate reservoir, located near Edson, Alberta in Canada is operated by Repsol and is being considered…
Effective monitoring of long-term site stability for transparent carbon capture and storage hazard assessment
ENSURE will demonstrate the use of microseismic monitoring for seal integrity verification for large-scale carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) projects. Microseismic events provide direct insights into CO2 migration within the storage reservoir and potential caprock integrity challenges within the overburden. This goal will be achieved by developing advanced analysis tools and comparing data, existing and…
Sparse Passive-Active Reservoir monitoring using Seismic, Electromagnetics, gravity, and surface deformation (SPARSE)
As geological CO2 storage becomes commercially viable, the current state of technologies for subsurface monitoring and measurement will not be sufficient to monitor the large volumes of CO2 that will be injected and permanently stored. The most accurate way to monitor the subsurface today is by using 3D surface seismic data to create a baseline…
Reusing depleted oil and gas fields for CO2 sequestration
The RETURN project will focus on enabling CO2 injection and storage into depleted oil and gas reservoirs for long-term CO2 storage by developing novel solutions for overcoming injection challenges. Currently, high-pressure CO2 injection into low-pressure depleted reservoirs can be challenging due to cooling and potential freezing in the near-well region, jeopardizing injectivity, near-well stability, and…
