Some experts say we can't get to net-zero without carbon capture, but does the technology live up to the promise? Matt Galloway talks to Rick Chalaturnyk, a professor of geotechnical engineering at the University of Alberta; and Emily Eaton, a professor of geography and environmental studies at the University of Regina.
SPE Canada held its first carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) workshop in May 2021. The workshop in Calgary enabled SPE members, CCUS-focused entrepreneurs, finance providers, and policy makers to share knowledge related to emissions issues, policy, economics, technology development, and geologic considerations.

How One Oil-Rich Province Could Help Canada Capture a Low-Carbon Future It s not the oil and gas that is a concern, it s the carbon emissions.
By Jack Graham
TORONTO, May 7 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) At a research site in rural Alberta, carbon dioxide is injected deep into the ground. Using remote sensors, scientists monitor its movement to ensure the planet-heating gas does not migrate upwards. Basically, think of ultrasound on bodies we re doing ultrasound on the earth, said Don Lawton, director of the Containment and Monitoring Institute and a geophysics professor at the University of Calgary.
The research findings are shared with oil and gas companies exploring ways to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) during production before the greenhouse gas is released into the atmosphere, and storing it underground or using it for other purposes.
