Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

As countries around the world aim to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, the capture and permanent underground storage of carbon dioxide (CO₂) is being touted as a vital component of global efforts to contain those emissions from heavy industrial processes.

In the fight against climate change, global experts call Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) one of the world’s most critical decarbonization technologies. CCS involves capturing and compressing carbon dioxide (CO₂) at an emitting facility, transporting it via pipeline and injecting it safely and permanently deep underground.

Enbridge is advancing CCS projects across North America as a key enabler to reaching national and international emissions reduction goals. For example, in Canada, Enbridge is developing the Open Access Wabamun Carbon Hub near Edmonton, AB to provide dedicated, utility-scale carbon dioxide (CO₂) transportation and storage solutions serving CO₂ capture projects. In the U.S., Enbridge and Oxy Low Carbon Ventures are developing a CO₂ pipeline transportation and sequestration hub near Corpus Christi, TX.
