Carbon sequestration is pivotal in addressing climate change
Here is why:
Compliance with Regulations
In regions like Alberta, power generators will be mandated to adhere to the Federal Clean Electricity Regulation. This directive pushes for net zero emissions from power producers by 2035.
Carbon sequestration through carbon hubs is a crucial tool for these power generators to achieve and maintain compliance.

CCS Institute
The Global CCS Institute is an international think tank whose mission is to accelerate the deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS), a vital technology to tackle climate change and deliver climate neutrality.
IEAGHG
IEAGHG funds research into the development and employment of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Technologies
CCS Knowledge Network
The International CCS Knowledge Centre is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a critical means of managing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving the world’s ambitious climate goals.
Alberta
Carbon capture, utilization and storage Alberta is a global leader in carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) and continues to safely lead the way.
MIT CC&ST Program
The Carbon Capture and Sequestration Technologies Program at MIT conducted research into technologies to capture, utilize, and store CO2 from large stationary sources. Initiated in 1989, our program became internationally recognized as a leader in this field. Our research examines carbon sequestration from multiple perspectives, including technical, economic, and political.
