The project represents a partnership between Spectra Energy and the provincial government in BC which has provided a $3.4 million grant to help fund an initial feasibility phase, intended to determine whether deep underground saline reservoirs and associated infrastructure in the area are appropriate for CCS.
"Addressing the challenge of climate change requires a commitment of both government and the private sector to innovation and deploying new technologies," said Doug Bloom, president, Spectra Energy Transmission West. "We believe carbon capture and storage technology holds real promise in providing a safe and effective means of reducing greenhouse gases and addressing climate change."
"We're excited to work in partnership with the Province to build on Spectra Energy's existing experience with CCS and to explore the feasibility of a large-scale project at our Fort Nelson plant," said Bloom.
