The MoU, which was signed during the World Future Energy Summit, sets out a strategic agreement between the two governments for the sharing of research and evaluation and analysis on non-confidential CCS projects and technologies.
CCS works by capturing carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and industrial sources, thus preventing their release into the atmosphere, and permanently storing these underground in geological structures such as oil reservoirs. Some 40 per cent of the world’s carbon emissions currently come from power generation, making CCS a promising new technology in the global effort to combat climate change.
Talking on the importance of the MoU, Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, Chief Executive of Masdar said: “Masdar is committed to developing partnerships with global energy organisations, such as the government of Alberta’s Ministry of Energy, to test and prove efficient, commercially scalable sustainable energy solutions that can be replicated globally.” The Ministry of Energy is responsible to the government and citizens of Alberta to develop and implement sound policy that will assure sustained prosperity in the interests of Albertans through the responsible development of energy and mineral resources, and leadership in energy technology, conservation and efficiency.
“The importance of developing CCS technology cannot be underestimated. Global warming is directl related to the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere; therefore, it is imperative that we work with other leading energy organisations to develop cost effective processes for the capture and storage of CO2” Al Jaber added.
“The Province of Alberta is rich in energy and mineral resources including natural gas, conventional oil, oil sands, petrochemicals, electricity and coal,” said Ed Stelmach, Premier of Alberta. “We understand well the importance of CCS and are delighted to have signed this agreement with Masdar, which like us, is committed to reducing carbon emissions both locally and globally through the management of clean fossil fuel power and greater industrial energy efficiency.”
Masdar is developing one of the world’s most ambitious large-scale CCS projects. The CCS network will capture carbon dioxide from power plants and industrial facilities and then transport it via a UAE-wide pipeline network for injection into Abu Dhabi’s oil reservoirs for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR).
