| Abstract | (unpublished)
This project will demonstrate the feasibility of safe CO2 storage in the Redwater Leduc Reef, situated northeast of Edmonton, Alberta. This site is close to the Alberta
Industrial Heartland region, where there are a number of large industrial sources of GHG emissions, including chemical and fertilizer plants and several oil sands upgraders that are operating, being built or in the planning stages. The Redwater Leduc
Reef is also strategically located along a straight-line path between Fort McMurray and Edmonton, a potential route for a CO2 pipeline from Fort McMurray. Preliminary work estimates the storage capacity of the saline aquifer portion of the reef to be
1 Gt of CO2. This project will demonstrate carbon capture and storage (CCS) on a commercial scale (a minimum of several megatonnes per year), contributing to a significant reduction in GHG emissions. |
