The global CCUS sector is entering a critical phase, with a rising wave of final investment decisions expected as projects transition from ambition to delivery. With exceptional geology, deep technical expertise, and new policy mechanisms including the CCUS Investment Tax Credit and a government-backed DAC offset protocol, Canada is creating the conditions for large scale deployment.

Landmark projects such as Shell Quest, Boundary Dam, and the Alberta Carbon Trunk Line already showcase Canada’s capability, with momentum accelerating further with the 2025 Canada–Alberta MOU, connecting CCUS investment to future export infrastructure.

With the Pathways project at the center of this opportunity, these projects position CCUS as the strategic lever enabling Canada’s resource sector to grow competitively while meeting national climate commitments and reinforcing Canada’s global energy leadership.

2026 CONFERENCE THEMES

Alberta–Canada MOU & Pathways

1 (1)

The 2025 Canada–Alberta MOU marks a turning point for CCUS, linking federal backing for a new West Coast pipeline to Alberta’s ability to produce low‑emission bitumen, ultimately making CCS performance a prerequisite for future export growth. This puts Pathways Alliance at the center of the moment. Explore how the MOU reshapes the role of CUS in Canada’s energy landscape.

Bankability & FID Readiness

2 (1)

Global CCUS hubs are advancing, but Canadian projects still face delays without predictable incentives, stable policy, and clear commercial structures. Discuss the market forces including and beyond government action that can support sector growth and move large CCUS projects from proposal to investment‑ready reality.

Policy Clarity & Interprovincial Coordination

3 (1)

Canada’s ability to scale CCUS depends on stable, predictable policy. A clear, coordinated federal–provincial framework will determine whether Canada can move from pilots to full commercial deployment. Understand the provincial alignment required along the CO₂ value chain to unlock FID‑ready projects.

Scalable Infrastructure Models

4 (1)

Canada’s CCUS ambitions depend on building integrated infrastructure that connects capture, transport, and storage at scale. Discover how shared hubs and transport network in Canada and beyond help lower costs and scale CCUS effectively.

Hard to Abate Sectors

5

Canada’s cement, steel, and chemical sectors are front‑runners for CCUS deployment. Discover how rising demand for low-carbon materials and early removals markets, including BECCS and DAC, can create new commercial opportunities for industry.

Power & AI Driving CCUS

6 (1)

AI is driving an unprecedented surge in electricity demand, and data centers are urgently seeking reliable, low‑carbon power at massive scale. As provinces race to attract billion‑dollar data‑center investments, CCS‑enabled natural gas could reshape Canada’s baseload strategy. With Big Tech increasingly willing to underwrite low‑carbon baseload, discover Canada’s opportunity to turn CCUS into a growth engine.

Elevating Removals (BECCS + DAC) as Compliance Markets Form

7 (1)

As the UK and the EU advance their removals frameworks, high‑quality carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is rapidly becoming a formal compliance asset. Canada is well positioned with early DAC protocols and active buyers, but projects must meet rigorous MRV, durability, and permanence standards to access future EU/UK markets. Understand the growing opportunity for BECCS and DAC in a global market.
