Canada’s CCS potential hinges on policy choices
Potential for CCS to cut emissions may have been overstated, despite country’s huge geological storage resource
The Canadian government is counting on CCS to play a major role in slashing emissions from large industrial emitters in the country in coming decades. However, based on two recent studies by Clean Prosperity—a Toronto-based environmental and economic thinktank—the potential to slash industrial emissions using CCS is likely significantly less than hoped for, despite Canada’s massive onshore geological storage resource, although emission reductions could still be substantial if governments provide the right policy support. Clean Prosperity and the Pembina Institute, a Calgary-based environmental thinktank, differ on what policy support is needed. Canada’s industrial CCS potential Canada has hu
