Project Clear Horizon

Project Objectives

The primary goal of this project is to understand sub-surface injection and storage capabilities close to the emission source.

The project also seeks to determine the optimal pipeline routing and compression technology required to transport CO₂ from the source to the injection point.

Expected Results

This project seeks to de-risk municipally-operated CCUS projects and enable the creation of a blue hydrogen hub, supported by the Southeast Alberta Hydrogen Task Force.

It also aims to help meet climate targets by capturing and storing up to 3 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. This would contribute to reducing emissions levels by 40-45% below 2005 levels by 2030 and ultimately reaching net-zero emissions by 2050.

Additionally, it has the potential to position the region as a global supplier of clean petrochemicals. By utilizing existing infrastructure and supply chains, stakeholders can create new market opportunities for low carbon petrochemicals that may not be available otherwise.
