- Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) says it has fitted the final module at the first carbon capture and storage project in Alberta's oil sands, putting start-up on track for 2015.
- The 70%-complete Quest CCS project is being built with funding from the Alberta and Canadian federal government to help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from the oil sands.
- The project will capture more than 1M metric tons of CO2 each year from Shell's Scotford upgrader and inject it 2 km under the Alberta prairies into impermeable layers of rock for permanent storage.
