Links to CCS-related Information in Canada
- Alberta Innovates
Energy and Environment Solutions
As a global leader in technology and research on oil sands and heavy oil, Alberta is at the forefront of technologies such as gasification, upgrading, carbon capture and storage, advanced recovery, water use, tailings management and alternative energy. This unique world expertise has fostered Alberta's commitment to the "science of solutions" related to all areas of energy and the environment. As a result, our researchers, entrepreneurs, and businesses are setting global standards for reducing environmental impacts and supporting the development of greener communities.

- Canadian Clean Power Coalition
The Canadian Clean Power Coalition (CCPC) is an association of responsible, leading Canadian coal and coal-fired electricity producers and the California-based Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). Its aim is to secure a future for coal-fired electricity generation, within the context of Canada's multi-fuelled electricity industry, by proactively addressing environmental issues with governments and our stakeholders.
- Canadian CO2 Capture and Storage Technology Network (CCCSTN)
The CCCSTN was established to coordinate activities undertaken by various groups and/or entities working on research, development and demonstration of national CO2 Capture and Storage (CO2 C&S) initiatives.
- Canadian CO2 Capture & Storage Technology Roadmap
The mission of the Canadian CO2 Capture & Storage technology Roadmap is to identify technologies strategies, processes and integration system pathways needed to allow CO2 to be captured and stored in Canada. This Technology Roadmap will address both a nearer term market transition time frame with considerations given to near term growth and the retrofit needs; and the 2015 and beyond time frame for technology pathways requiring longer term development, infrastructure planning and implementation.
- The Canadian Energy Research Institute (CERI)
The Canadian Energy Research Institute (CERI) is an independent, non-profit research institute committed to excellence in the analysis of energy economics and related environmental policy issues in the producing, transportation, and consuming sectors.
- Canadian Society for Unconventional Gas (CSUG)
The Canadian Society for Unconventional Gas (CSUG) promotes technology transfer and training to foster a regulatory, fiscal and economic environment conducive to the exploration and development of Canadian unconventional gas resources in an environmentally responsible manner.
- Canada's Clean Coal Technology Roadmap
The Clean Coal Technology Roadmap provides an outlook to the future and identifies technology pathways needed to allow coal to be used as a competitive environmentally clean energy resource for the production of electricity.

- ICO2N
The Integrated CO2 Network, is a proposed carbon capture and storage (CCS) system for Canada. The companies participating in the ICO2N carbon capture and storage initiative represent a cross-section of Canadian industry committed to helping Canada meet its climate change objectives while supporting economic growth.
- IEA Weyburn CO2 Monitoring and Storage Project
Launched in 2000, this 8-year $80 million international project studies CO2 injection and storage underground in depleted oil fields. The project’s Final Phase (2005-2011) is building on the successes of the First Phase (2000 – 2004) to deliver the framework necessary to encourage implementation of CO2 geological storage on a worldwide basis.
The project is operated in conjunction with two billion-dollar commercial CO2 floods in Saskatchewan, Canada, where huge volumes of the gas are captured from an industrial source and injected to revive oil production.
Cenovus' Weyburn field and Apache’s Midale field, located in southeast Saskatchewan, Canada, host this world leading project studying CO2 geological storage.
- International Test Center, University of Regina
