A community group in northern Alberta is campaigning against a proposed 600 kilometer carbon dioxide pipeline and sequestration system planned by the Oil Sands Alliance. Opponents raise concerns over potential groundwater contamination of the Beverly Channel aquifer and the risks associated with high pressure CO2 leaks. The group is calling for a full environmental impact assessment, citing a lack of consultation with local emergency services and referencing previous CO2 pipeline ruptures. They argue that the scale of the underground storage hub could attract more industrial emitters than initially disclosed.
