The Edmonton Region is a global leader in carbon capture and storage (CCS), boasting over $2 billion in investments, two of the world’s largest CCS facilities, and a proven track record of safely storing over 14 million tonnes of CO2 to date. The Region hosts Carbon Capture Canada, the only Pan-Canadian national convention showcasing Canada’s incredible and almost untapped opportunity for carbon capture and underground storage innovation.
The Region’s infrastructure for CO2 transportation and storage, positions us at the forefront of sustainable innovation and carbon management making us the ideal location to invest in CCUS investments.
Alberta is a global leader in CCS, with one of the world’s best geological formations for safe and permanent CO2 storage.
The Alberta Carbon Trunk Line, a 240 km pipeline, is a key part of the Region’s infrastructure, connecting industrial emitters to secure storage sites. This strong foundation, coupled with the Edmonton Region’s strategic location, skilled workforce, and supportive ecosystem, make it the ideal destination for your CCUS investments.

The Alberta Carbon Trunk Line is the world's largest carbon capture and storage project. It consists of a 240 km pipeline which will gather, compress and store up to 14.6 million tonnes of CO2 per year, and inject this CO2 into depleted oil reservoir
Bison Low Carbon Ventures is the first in North America to support a Direct Air Capture (DAC) hub (operated by Deep Sky Labs). Bison is a is a carbon sequestration project developer and energy transition technology commercialization platform.
Quest has stored more than 9 megatonnes of CO2 from hydrogen production facilities since 2015. Best practices from Quest will be used in the Atlas CO2 storage project, a partnership of Shell and ATCO.
Heidelberg Materials is setting a global benchmark by creating the world’s first full-scale carbon capture initiative at a cement plant. This pioneering facility aims to capture over 1 million tonnes of CO2 annually from cement production.
Dow to build a net-zero facility in Alberta's Industrial Heartland, that will produce 3.2 million metric tonnes of polyethylene and ethylene derivatives. The project will also modernize it's existing facility to produce net-zero carbon emissions.
Air Products is building a landmark clean hydrogen energy complex in the Edmonton Region with government support. The $1.6 billion project will start with a hydrogen production and liquefaction facility, utilizing advanced technology.
The NWR Sturgeon Refinery is the world’s first bitumen refinery built with CCS at its core. Designed to produce high-value fuel products, this refinery offers a sustainable approach to meeting North America’s growing energy demands.
Nutrien’s Redwater facility has sequestered over 500,000 tonnes of CO2 through the ACTL, significantly enhancing the Region’s production of low-carbon ammonia, and increasing capture and export capacity to over 300,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
