carbon capture

The federal government said it would provide up to $56 million to the University of Toronto to help it retrofit some of its dozens of old and energy-inefficient buildings in downtown Toronto.

From carbon capture and hydrogen development to the accelerated rollout of wind and solar power and rapid electrification of transportation systems, the federal government has laid out an ambitious roadmap to get Canada to its climate target of cutting emissions by 40 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030, and net-zero emissions by 2050.

Experience from Australia shows the CCUS technology was not designed to contribute meaningfully to emissions reductions. 

They say that carbon capture and storage has the potential to make a big dent in cutting pollution, while creating sustainable jobs and economic growth across the country.
