CCUS

Natural Resources Canada is accepting applications for research and development projects as part of a broader federal program supporting the advancement of carbon capture technology in Canada.

A group representing Canada’s largest oilsands producers got the green light to evaluate a proposed carbon storage site in northeastern Alberta that would seek to curb planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from the industry's operations.

Canada’s long-awaited plan to end public financing for international fossil fuel projects is here at last and, despite some loopholes, represents a major milestone, environmental groups say.

Oil and gas companies that pushed the federal government for more funding for carbon capture technology will be sorely disappointed by the fall economic statement.

Canada’s finance minister will present a fiscal look-ahead Thursday as Canadians grapple with high inflation and an impending recession.

If money talks, then Canada’s oil and gas companies ought to have a lot to say right now, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

Alberta is investing millions of dollars into carbon capture technologies at a time when climate experts say the technology should be used as a last resort.

The Liberals endured a day-long grilling over fossil fuel subsidies from the New Democrats on Tuesday.

Oilsands companies' record profits and their CEOs' campaigns for corporate welfare raise an important question, writes columnist Max Fawcett: is it time for Canadian taxpayers to get a bigger piece of the action?

The future of the carbon capture, utilization and storage technology shouldn't be subject to an all-or-nothing debate.

“I’m not a scientist. I’m a mom who cares,” she said. “We have got to be better stewards of the environment and while reducing carbon emissions is necessary, injecting them into the basin is not the answer.”

The single biggest climate item in Budget 2022 is the controversial carbon capture investment tax credit, followed by funding for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure.

Experience from Australia shows the CCUS technology was not designed to contribute meaningfully to emissions reductions. 

Canada’s new climate plan is banking on carbon capture to cut nearly 13 per cent of the oil and gas sector’s projected greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. But a new report reveals billions of public dollars already spent on the technology aren’t yielding substantial reductions.

They say that carbon capture and storage has the potential to make a big dent in cutting pollution, while creating sustainable jobs and economic growth across the country.
