Carbon Capture and Storage by Shell
Shell’s Quest carbon capture and storage project, takes a big step in reducing carbon dioxide emissions from the Shell oil sands operations. If approved, Quest would attach a carbon capture and storage system to Shell’s two oil sands upgraders near Edmonton, reducing its combined carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by up to 1.2 million tonnes per year, or nearly 40 per cent.
Heavily backed by Alberta and federal governments, Quest is one of four projects aimed at giving Canada a leading position in the development of carbon capture and storage technology. Shell sees carbon capture and storage (CCS) as vital to a successful global climate-change strategy.
Seeley Shell Canada’s general manager says. “CCS is important to the environment, but we also see it as good business management.

The site shows Shell,Chevron and Marathon’s strong commitment in reducing carbon footprint. I feel the strong message from United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has forced companies to wake up and take immediate action.

The $80 million IEA Greenhouse Gas Weyburn-Midale CO2 is one of the world's three largest in-field carbon storage research projects.
The ``international study is investigating long-term geological storage of man-made carbon dioxide -- used around the world to increase oil production -- in mature oil reservoirs,'' Shell said.
"The government of Alberta and government of Canada should be commended for their leadership and vision on advancing deployment of CCS," said Graham Boje, a Shell Canada vice-president. "Finding ways to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is one of the most important challenges facing society, and developing substantial CCS capability with governments and key stakeholders is one of our greatest priorities."

"There are very few CCS projects of this scale in the world, and Canada is a leader in this path," Canada’s energy minister Lisa Ray, said
