Alberta carbon capture pilot targets 70% cost cut with new Calgary system

Researchers in Calgary are testing a carbon capture system that could cut the energy needed to capture industrial emissions, potentially reducing costs by up to 70%. The pilot, run by InnoTech Alberta, aims to make carbon capture more affordable for industrial emitters. The system focuses on lowering the energy penalty associated with capture, which is a major driver of overall costs. If successful, this could improve the economics of carbon capture projects across Alberta and beyond, making it easier for heavy industry to adopt the technology.
