Carbon capture and storage (CCS) provides an opportunity to help British Columbia reach “net zero” carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 2050 (CleanBC, 2018, 2021). This project was commissioned to address a lack of coordinated public information about geological formations suitable for long-term CO2 storage in BC’s portion of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB). Its goals included the identification of favourable geology for CO2 storage in Northeastern British Columbia (NE BC), and developing an understanding of ultimate CO2 volumes that may be stored geologically.
