Since its inception in 2009, Carbon Management Canada has issued two calls for proposals. Those calls have resulted in the network providing $18 million in funds to 36 research projects.
For project summaries:
Below are details about the projects, researchers and students.
Accelerating Appropriate Deployment of Low Carbon Emission Technologies
- Assessing the potential of low carbon fossil-fuel/derived technologies: A life cycle environmental and techno-economic evaluation of the oil sands.
- Assessing the potential of low carbon fossil fuel/derived technologies: Developing modeling and analytical tools for assessing the potential contribution of carbon management to Canadian GHG emission.
- Governance innovation and the transition to a low carbon economy.
- National and international legal and regulatory framework for carbon management.
Enabling and Emerging Technologies
- Enabling the capture of CO2 under anaerobic (subsurface) conditions.
- A pore scale microlab to perform fundamental laboratory-based studies of CO2 in reservoirs
Recovery, Processing and Capture
