The Pathways project aims to capture and store 16 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually from Alberta's oilsands by 2035. The plan involves installing capture equipment at multiple industrial sites and building a 650 kilometer pipeline network to transport liquefied CO2 to a storage hub in Cold Lake. This multibillion dollar initiative is tied to a broader energy agreement between Alberta and the federal government. While the technical roadmap for capture and transport is outlined, the financial sharing of costs and risks between the Oil Sands Alliance and government bodies remains unresolved.
