• The collaboration on ACG between TC Energy and Pembina Pipeline
• Moving forward into the next stage of the province’s carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) process
• Collaborating with Indigenous communities and key stakeholders
• Reducing GHG emissions to help meet Canada’s climate goals

Panel introduced by Hon. Brian Jean, Minister of Energy, Government of Alberta

• How can CCUS help to reduce global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases while supporting real and sustainable economic growth
• What is the current state of CCUS technology, its potential for future development and deployment, and the challenges and opportunities associated with its implementation on a global scale?
• How CCUS can fit into broader climate mitigation strategies, including the role of policy, regulations, and private sector investment in supporting its deployment
• How can CCUS contribute to achieving net-zero emissions targets, as well as the potential for carbon capture and utilization in other industries such as cement, agriculture and manufacturing

Attendee Insights: Attending this session will provide attendees insight into the potential for CCUS is playing a significant role in mitigating climate change and creating a more sustainable future.

• What is the cost of CCS and why is CCUS not being widely used today?
• Determining the economic benefits of CCUS taking into account it’s use in producing low-carbon products such as hydrogen, fertilizers, or synthetic fuels.
• Should we be taking into account job creation when determining the economics of CCUS
• What is the current level of Government support for CCS and how do the tax incentives, and setting carbon pricing policies that create a demand for CCS compare in Canada to other parts of the world
• What market mechanisms are in play that provide financial incentives for companies to invest in CCS?
• What is the future of CCS and what research and development efforts are underway to improve CCS technology, reduce costs, and make it more scalable.

Attendee Insights: Delegates will take a deep dive into the complexities of CCUS economics with both costs and benefits to consider. Attending this session will also help understand what continued investment in CCS research and development is required to realize its potential.

Panel introduced by Hon. Rebecca Shultz, Minister of Environment and Protected Areas, Government of Alberta
