CDL is pleased to announce the upcoming release of the Geological Carbon Storage Atlas of Eastern Canada. This work was undertaken with partial funding support from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), with additional support from carbon removal project developer Deep Sky, and in collaboration with NRCan CanmetENERGY. Canada’s federal Carbon Management Strategy identifies carbon management—including the capture, transportation, and permanent geological storage of CO₂—as critical to achieving its climate objectives, with a significant share of emissions requiring secure, long-term subsurface containment.
Join us for Part 1 of this webinar, where we will present the project results, dive into subsurface complexities, including basin characterization and storage prospectivity assessments featured in the Atlas.
Part 2 of this webinar will be presented on May 5, 2026, and requires a separate registration.
