The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that the federal government is investing $21.5-million in five carbon-capture projects in Alberta to expand Canada's energy production. The Globe's Jeffrey Jones writes that this funding will support various technologies for capturing carbon dioxide, including mapping underground storage formations and modifying diesel engines. This effort is part of talks between Ottawa and Alberta to reduce carbon emissions and gain public support for expanding oil and gas exports. Among the carbon-capture projects Ottawa is supporting, Bow Valley Carbon Cochrane, a partnership of Inter Pipeline and Entropy, is getting $10-million for a CO2 compression, pipeline and sequestration well. The project aims to capture 40,000 tonnes of carbon a year from Inter Pipeline's Cochrane plant -- equal to taking 12,255 cars off the road annually, the partners said. Enbridge is receiving $4-million to map out deep saline reservoirs to support its Wabamun open-access hub north and west of Edmonton, designed to provide utility-scale CO2 transport and storage. Enhance Energy is also developing a storage hub, and the government is giving it $5-million to study a pressure-depleted saline aquifer.
