Geologic CO₂ storage is essential to carbon management and contributing to the goals of achieving net-zero for Canada and its provinces/territories. Globally, it is anticipated that 95% of all CO₂ captured will need to be permanently stored (IEA 2020). The objectives of the project are to provide a consistent regional analysis that catalogues opportunities, economics & risks for carbon storage in Eastern Canada (QC and Atlantic Canada).

The objectives of this project are to provide a consistent regional analysis that catalogues opportunities, economics & risks for carbon storage in Eastern Canada (QC and Atlantic Canada). This project fills a gap in the geological knowledge that is required to understand carbon storage opportunities in Eastern Canada. It provides a scientifically informed summary of the potential volumes of CO2 that could be stored and the associated costs.
This project will enable groups to accelerate CCS strategies and direct efforts toward the most promising storage reservoirs while also aiding regulatory reviews, policy decisions, and public discussions about the opportunities and risks associated with carbon storage.
This Atlas will be a valuable and trusted resource for industry, government, Indigenous groups, and the public.
With over $30 million invested, CDL's Technical Studies Library offers a one-of-a-kind resource for the E&P industry—covering petroleum systems, basin analysis, hydrogeology, and migration modeling across the WCSB, Williston Basin, and beyond.
