Clean Prosperity, a Toronto-based non-governmental organization focused on climate policy, published a report assessing the potential for expanding carbon capture and storage in Canada.

From a summary of the report from the Net-Zero Pathways for Canada project at Clean Prosperity:

Canada has rich potential for geological carbon storage — approximately 389 gigatonnes of prospective onshore storage, located mostly in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba. That’s almost 600 times the mass of Canada’s total 2021 emissions.

The research report looks at the expanded use of saline aquifers for permanent carbon dioxide storage in five key Canadian provinces: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Quebec.
