The capture, geological storage and/or utilization Of CO2 represent an attractive option to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Canada. With CO2 capture, co-incidental benefits arising from the removal of a number of secondary air pollutants generated from the utilization of fossil fuels provide additional opportunities to address a number of associated air pollution control issues. As a result, a number of Canadian federal, provincial government and industry-supported initiatives are currently underway aimed at achieving these goals. This paper describes several projects that have been undertaken to characterize the CO2 storage potential geological sinks and for the development and deployment of storage/utilization and capture technologies for achieving near zero emissions Of CO2 and other atmospheric pollutants from fossil fuel use.
