This publication reviews the current status of carbon dioxide (CO2) capture & storage technology development in Canada and the contribution that these technologies could make to greenhouse gas mitigation. It first describes what capture & storage of carbon emissions involves, including CO2 separation from industrial effluents, transportation of captured CO2 to a use or storage site, and sequestration of captured CO2 in geological reservoirs or oceans. It then discusses sources of CO2 emission & CO2 storage capacities available in Canada, strategic considerations involved in deployment of CO2 capture & storage technologies, current capture & storage initiatives in Canada, and international capture & storage activities of interest to Canada. The final sections outline a more ambitious program approach to implementing capture & storage technology in Canada as well as other actions needed for technology development.
