We are travelling to Calgary October 1 to delve into carbon capture – technologies that could play a role in combating climate change, but that are not without controversy.
According to the Government of Alberta the province is a “global leader in carbon capture, utilization and storage and continues to safely lead the way.”
All carbon capture technologies involve capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide and either repurposing it or storing it underground. Already, two major projects in the province have captured and stored more than 11.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide since 2015.
Companies are exploring options for producing liquid fuels or hydrogen from captured carbon, or using it in the production of fertilizer, concrete, chemicals, and plastics.
However, critics raise concerns about the high cost and additional power needed to fuel carbon capture processes. They say it will be an excuse to slow the energy transition, call it greenwashing.
Join us online 6:00pm Mountain Time as we break down carbon capture in Alberta with a stellar panel:
- Ian MacGregor, Chairman of the Board, President & CEO of North West Refining; founder of Sturgeon Refinery
- Zach Parston, KPMG Partner – Major Project Advisory
- Claude Létourneau, President & CEO of Svante
- Justin Riemer, CEO of Emissions Reduction Alberta
- Peter Tertzakian, Deputy Director of ARC Energy Research

We hope you can join us for the conversation – webcast with the Calgary Herald and on our own website.
