Carbon Capture Canada 2026 concluded in Edmonton, bringing together government officials, industry leaders and investors to advance carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) projects.
The two-day event at the Edmonton Convention Centre focused on moving carbon management initiatives from ambition to implementation. David Ghoris, Vice President of Energy at dmg events, described the participation strength as a reflection of opportunities ahead for the global industry.
Strategic Focus on Implementation
Brian Jean, Minister of Energy and Minerals for the Government of Alberta, emphasized the role of such gatherings in charting the future course for the sector. Frank Des Rosiers, Assistant Deputy Minister at Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), noted that Canadian companies are developing carbon capture technology, removal solutions and monitoring technologies.
Des Rosiers highlighted that these capabilities position Canada as a reliable supplier of energy and resource technology to meet global partners’ needs, particularly in a world focused on energy security and supply chain diversification.
Industry Perspectives
Alex Petre, CEO of Deep Sky, pointed to Alberta’s skilled labour force in gas processing and compression as a vital asset for extracting CO₂ from the air and storing it underground. Petre stated that while commercial projects are being developed across Canada, the goal is to export this knowledge and build projects abroad.
Purnomo Yusgiantoro, Special Advisor to the President of Indonesia for Energy, identified Canada as a leading nation in CCUS deployment. He stated that collaborating with Canada is important for supporting Indonesia’s emerging implementation and capacity building programs.
Event Details
