Complete a FEED study

For each CCUS project, you must complete a Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) study or equivalent engineering study before you can submit a project plan.

An equivalent engineering study would be an engineering package at the Front-End Loading 3 stage (FEL-3). This package would include documents 1 to 10 from the table below.

The following table lists all documents that will be requested in the project plan submission form.

Project plan submission documentation

Document Attachment Description
1 Design basis
  • Project scope statement
  • Design report listing assumptions
  • Key performance indicators
  • Constraints
  • Major design decisions
  • Relevant codes and standards
  • Technical assurance reviews
  • Other relevant design assessments
2 Process flow diagrams (PFD) Standard engineering diagram labelled according to standard engineering practices and presenting all, but not limited to:
  • Process equipment
  • Pipelines
  • Equipment heat and energy duties
  • Valves
  • Pumps
  • Stream conditions
  • Other relevant systems, equipment
Clearly label the process boundary between the CCUS and non-CCUS equipment.
3 Utility flow diagrams (UFD) Standard engineering diagram presenting:
  • All utility streams
  • Existing equipment required to deliver utilities
  • Any new equipment required to enable operation of the CCUS plant
Clearly label the process boundary between the CCUS and non-CCUS equipment.
4 Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID) Standard engineering diagram labelled with standard engineering symbols and notation, including:
  • All information present in the PFD
  • Control equipment
  • Control mechanisms
  • Instruments
  • Pipe and signal lines
5 Major equipment/ Major equipment package list Packages for any major equipment purchases including:
  • A description of function
  • A list of included equipment and instrumentation
  • Purchase cost
6 Energy and Material Balances Full energy and material balance for all fluid streams referenced in the PFD and UFD, including:
  • Total stream conditions
  • Vapour and liquid conditions
  • Stream composition
  • Amount of entrainment by material
7 Electrical one-line drawings Simple representative diagram of the electric power system of the planned CCUS process.

Clearly indicate the boundary between existing process equipment and the planned CCUS equipment.
8 Site and plot plans Civil engineering diagrams showing the location and plans for construction of required civil works such as:
  • Buildings
  • Pipeline rights-of-way
  • Berms
  • Roads
9 Itemized Class 3 capital cost assessment An itemized list of capital costs which include:
  • Cost of acquiring the property
  • Costs incurred to put the property into service
  • Materials, labour, and overhead costs reasonably attributable to the property
The Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) Class system provides classes for cost estimation.

This capital cost assessment should be compliant with the level of detail required for a Class 3 cost estimate.
10 Level 3 Schedule A schedule which spans the whole project and includes all:
  • Major milestones
  • Major elements of design
  • Engineering
  • Procurement
  • Construction
  • Testing
  • Commissioning
  • Operation
11 CCUS Tax Credit property list Template to be available with the project plan submission form.

Itemized list of all equipment to be purchased for the facility, including:
  • Process equipment
  • Mechanical equipment
  • Utility equipment
Clearly indicate the type of equipment and purpose. Include references to PFDs, UFDs, and P&IDs.
12 Dual use equipment calculations A document showing the calculation of the reported dual use factors.

Each number used to calculate the factors must be referenced from a document included in the application package.

Details for these calculations may be found in the CCUS ITC Technical Guidance Document.

Refer to: NRCan's CCUS ITC Technical Guidance Document (PDF, 4.2 MB)
13 Pore space allocation A legal document issued by a provincial, territorial, or other equivalent authority that governs pore space allocations and has granted the rights for sequestration.
This document should clearly identify the:
  • Reservoir in which the project will be sequestering CO2
  • Rate of CO2 sequestration
  • Total volume of CO2 that the applicant is approved to sequester
14 Letters of intent or agreements Documents signed by all parties outlining the agreement for the CCUS Tax Credit applicant to provide captured CO2 for transport and/or storage, or receive captured CO2 for transport and/or storage.
