Emerson Joins Carbon Management Canada’s Carbon Capture and Storage Program

Carbon Management Canada (CMC) welcomes Emerson to its collaborative carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) program. The joint industry partnership program fo-cuses on developing and implementing cost-effective, secure and practical carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions.

“We’re excited Emerson has joined our Joint Industry Partnership. CMC injects CO2 and uses monitoring technologies to detect and track the movement of the CO2 stored under-ground. We share those findings with our member companies,” said Greg Maidment, di-rector of operations and applied research. “The work we’re doing at the site is cutting edge and Emerson will be able to expand their knowledge in CCUS to meet their deca-bonization goals.”

The program is offered through CMC’s 200-hectare Field Research Station in Southern Alberta and provides access to the extensive high-quality CCS monitoring data and infor-mation acquired there, as well as first access to research results from CMC’s experts, researchers from the University of Calgary and other academia partners. In addition, Emerson will have opportunities to test and assess different technologies.

“Emerson’s partnership with CMC is a significant opportunity to research and highlight the capabilities that will be needed for large-scale carbon sequestration,” said Mike Train, SVP and chief sustainability officer at Emerson.  “Capturing carbon and safely sequester-ing it underground will be critical to achieving a net zero world. The potential for what we can learn at the site – and ultimately share with stakeholders around the world – is an important step on our collective decarbonization journey.”
