CO2 Solutions in carbon capture pilot plant

CO2 Solutions Inc. has entered into a collaboration agreement with Husky Energy, where CO2 Solutions will install and operate a pilot unit capturing approximately 15 tonnes of CO2 per day at Husky’s Pikes Peak South, Saskatchewan heavy oil site on a once-through steam generator. Operation of the pilot unit is expected to commence in early 2015 with completion of testing expected in the third quarter of 2015.

The project will be funded in part by the Government of Canada’s ecoENERGY Innovation Initiative (ecoEII) program. A successful project will pave the way for the CO2 Solutions technology to be applied broadly for cost-effective carbon emissions mitigation in heavy oil and oil sands operations in Western Canada and other industrial applications.
