CCS Talks: The Alberta Carbon Trunk Line – Alberta’s Newest Carbon Solution

10th July 2020

9 July 2020 - 09:00 (Calgary) / 11:00 (Washington) / 16:00 (London) / 17:00 (Brussels) /10 July 2020 0:00(Tokyo)


Overview

In early June, the Alberta Carbon Trunk Line was declared “fully operational” by its partners.   The ACTL and its associated CO2 emission sources thus became the 20th and 21st large-scale CCS facilities in the world, according to the Global CCS Institute’s CO2RE Facilities Database.  Designed as the backbone infrastructure needed to support a lower carbon economy in Alberta, Canada, the ACTL system is currently capturing about 1.6 million tonnes per year of industrial CO2 emissions from an oil refinery and a fertilizer plant, and delivering it to mature oil and gas reservoirs for use in enhanced oil recovery and permanent storage.

Join the ACTL’s business partners and funders to hear, in their own words, how the project came together, how they overcame the obstacles, and what they envision for the future of the ACTL system, and for CCS around the world.  The 60-minute conversation will be followed by a 15-minute Q&A with the participants of the webinar.

Blair Eddy - Chief Operating Officer, VP Engineering & Operations, Enhance Energy

Blair Eddy is an executive with more than 25 years of experience in the WCSB.  After receiving his Engineering degree from the University of Saskatchewan, Blair went on to gain a wide range of technical, operational and commercial experience.  Blair’s operational experience includes the Weyburn CO2 project, where he was involved for over 10 years in all aspects of project development from operations, facilities, and drilling through to production engineering.

Blair joined Enhance when it was founded in 2008 and since that time has been integral to all aspects of the ACTL Project from concept development, through design, commercial analysis and financing.  Over the last 11 years with Enhance Energy, Blair has played a key role in the design of the complete ACTL system, from source capture/compression, transportation to enhanced oil recovery and long term CO2 storage.

Blair is currently leading Enhance’s efforts to become Canada’s leading low-carbon energy producer.

Enhance is the owner and operator of the Clive oil reservoir, which is receiving the CO2 from ACTL for EOR utilization and permanent storage.
