Objective
It is anticipated that 95% of all captured CO2 will need to be permanently stored to achieve net-zero emissions. To ensure the permanent removal of CO2 from the carbon cycle, CO2 needs to be sequestered and stored.
As part of the Energy Innovation Program – Carbon capture, utilization and storage RD&D Call, the Storage & Transportation focus area aims to characterize and develop safe, permanent sub-surface CO2 storage, and technologies that support safe and efficient transportation of CO2 and storage opportunities across Canada.
Eligibility
The CCUS RD&D Storage and Transportation focus area is open to:
- Legal entities validly incorporated or registered in Canada, including:
- For-profit and not-for-profit organizations such as electricity and gas utilities, electricity system operators, transmissions owners and operators, companies, industry associations, research associations, and standards organizations
- Indigenous organizations and groups
- Community groups
- Canadian academic institutions
- Provincial, territorial, regional, and municipal governments and their departments and agencies where applicable
It is expected that the entity that will sign a contribution agreement with NRCan will be the majority owner of any assets purchased in full or in part by funding provided by NRCan.
