CO2 Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS)

Controlling and reducing carbon emissions through an industrially focused research and development (R&D) program

Our areas of focus

CanmetENERGY Ottawa’s CCUS program consists of R&D in carbon capture, utilization, and storage. Currently, we are focused on:

  • capture: identifying, developing, and testing technologies with competitive costs and energy efficiency levels – at the bench and pilot scale – that energy/emission-intensive industries may implement, to capture their CO2 emissions
  • utilization: pursuing proof-of-concept processes that convert carbon to fuels, chemicals, or carbonate minerals through mineralization processes, with higher conversion efficiency and lower energy requirements, compared to incumbent technologies
  • storage: improving accessible capacity in existing reservoirs and assessing the storage capacity of carbonate reservoirs, with the aim of opening up new potential storage sites in Canada

CCUS projects at CanmetENERGY in Ottawa

Our current suite of R&D projects aims to reduce the cost and energy requirements of CCUS, facilitating future large-scale deployment:
