Wedges for the sinks depict the amount of CO 2 stored (as a proportion of total reservoir capacity). The width of the pipeline network (green lines) is proportional to CO 2 flow; the largest CO 2 flow is approximately 36 MtCO 2 / yr for the $155/tCO 2 scenario (pipeline leaving the Athabasca oil sands area). 15 years alone.

The provincial government of Alberta and the federal government of Canada will invest C$865 million (US$822 million) in a large-scale Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project in the Athabasca oil sands. Quest is a fully integrated CCS scheme, meaning it would capture, transport, inject and store CO 2.

When we turn up the heat in our homes and workplaces, we must balance our personal need for warmth with the global impact of burning fossil fuels like oil, gas, coal, and biomass. The hot air is circulated through a network of pipes inside a sand-filled heat storage vessel. The apparent contradictions do not end there.

A new study released by Global Forest Watch Canada finds that significant amounts of greenhouse gases are emitted through the disturbance and/or removal of biocarbon (trees, shrubs, peats), which overlay Alberta’s oil sands. These areas store 579 megatonnes (million tones) of biological carbon, mostly in peatlands.

The goal of the initiative is to transform oil sands production processes by developing technologies that address sustainability challenges. The University of Alberta, recognized as a global leader in oil sands research, will work with the Helmholtz Association, a collection of 16 science and technology centers across Germany.
