The Origins Project aims to ship CO2 from a number of industrial developments close to the Highway 2 corridor, as well as in Alberta’s industrial heartland area, ending near Enhance’s operations at Clive for storage underground.
Enhance CEO Kevin Jabusch said the Calgary-based company is pitching the project — it could potentially store up to 20 million tonnes a year — as the province looks to select operators for new carbon hubs in Alberta.
“It is definitely a competitive process and it’s just starting,” Jabusch said in an interview.
“But how they do it, and what comes out of this, is critical.”
Under a provincial process, these hubs will be overseen by a private operator that will manage and provide access to subsurface formations — pore space — to enable carbon storage for industrial clients, according to provincial documents.
