The original challenge was to encourage capture of CO2 from co ncentrated sources so that it could be used for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR ) for light oil formations. EOR since 1972 has been the main target for CO 2injection globally as it makes economic use of the gas and currently abou t 50Mt/yr is injected for this purpose to produce an incremental ~500\,000 bbl/d. About 30 Mt/yr is used for beverage carbonation\, food processing and other products. With the increasing focus on “Net Zero for CO2” gl obal operating storage capacity in aquifers has slowly grown from <1.7 Mt/ yr before 2015 and is currently at <11Mt/yr worldwide\, with only about 1 Mt/yr of that added in the last 4 years. Alberta already has CO2 EOR proje cts which have been operating for decades and one sequestration project (S hell Quest) which has avoided about 0.9 Mt/yr since 2015. The Alberta Gove rnment is currently assessing 25 new aquifer CO2sequestration HUB projects with initial capacities which might total ~90-100 Mt/yr if they all were to proceed. The lands included for these projects would cover an area of t he province equivalent to about 1050 townships. No other country in the wo rld seems to be considering this level of massive and rapid CCS developmen t in onshore applications. Is there a reason for this?\n\nThis presentatio n will take a high-level look at the processes used for sequestration\, po tential risks associated with each type of storage for local populations\, as well as business and taxpayer risks due to remaining uncertainties.
