E421 – Current & Critical – Jay Kleinsasser, Carbon Capture's Future and Canada's Role
“Alberta has, in the last four years, put in more regulation around fugitive emissions, methane leaks, all that kind of stuff. There’s a very rigorous process about knowing what you’re emitting.”
A more sustainable future is closer than ever before thanks to advancements in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). Jay expresses the necessity of developing infrastructure for CO2 transport and storage, including pipelines, and the financial aspects affecting the viability of CCUS projects. He explains how uniquely and well-positioned Alberta is for CCUS work, thanks to our extensive deep saline aquifers. If you’re curious about a balanced approach to energy production and environmental protection, this episode is a must-listen!
