The Pembina Institute's Perspective on Carbon Dioxide Capture and StoragePresented to the ecoENERGY Carbon Capture and Storage Task Force

Publication - Sept. 14, 2007 - By Matthew Bramley, Marlo Raynolds

The Pembina Institute considers CCS to be one available option among others for achieving the needed deep reductions in Canada’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. But we believe that development and deployment of CCS in Canada should be conditional on

  • a massive scale-up of energy efficiency and low-impact renewable energy,
  • the regional context of application of CCS, notably the availability of more sustainable options,
  • the geological and regulatory context of carbon dioxide (CO2) disposal, and
  • a fair distribution of investment between taxpayers and polluters.
