CCS regulatory review in Canada

摘要

Experts from around the globe are to help guide a carbon capture and storage (CCS) regulatory framework assessment in the Canadian province of Alberta. The assessment will examine in detail the environmental, safety and assurance processes for CCS that exist and determine What, if any, new processes need to be put in place for commercial-scale deployment of the technology. The six-member expert panel will be co-chaired by Stefan Bachu, Distinguished Scientist for CO2 Storage with Alberta Innovates Technology Futures and Don Thompson, President of the Oil Sands Developers Group. Bachu co-shares the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize that was awarded to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
