Entropy Carbon Capture and Sequestration of In-situ Oil Production Process at Athabasca’s Leismer Facility
Entropy has developed world-leading, commercial scale carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology that is suitable for a wide variety of industrial emissions, including various forms of natural gas combustion. The first commercial application, recently completed at the Advantage Energy Glacier Gas Plant near Grande Prairie, Alberta, captures CO2 emissions from the exhaust of a gas-fired 5,000 […]

ENSURE – 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 […]

RETURN – 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 […]

CREATE – Carbon Reforming to Economic Additives for Transitioning Into Emission-Less Era
The key objective of the CREATE project is to accelerate the development and commercialization of new carbon capture and utilization technology developed by a spin-off company, Carbonova Corp. (“Carbonova”), of the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada. The technology converts waste heat and industrial CO2 streams into valuable products based on carbon nanofibers and will […]

ACTION – Advanced Multitemporal Modelling and Optimisation of CO2 Transport, Utilisation, and Storage Networks
ACTION will establish how an efficient infrastructure, connecting CO2 sources with CO2 geological storage and non-geological utilisation options, can be developed as part of regional decarbonization efforts. It will research and develop a multitemporal integrated assessment model that will support stakeholders in the planning and designing large-scale, flexible CO2 transport, utilization, and storage networks, and […]

CP Hydrogen Locomotive Program
In December 2020, CP announced plans to design and build North America’s first line-haul hydrogen-powered locomotive using fuel cells and batteries to power the locomotive. To help expand this program, ERA has committed $15 million through its Shovel-Ready Challenge, enabling CP to increase the number of hydrogen locomotive conversions in the project from one to […]

Lehigh Cement Edmonton CCUS Feasibility 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 […]
