The Origins carbon capture and storage hub in Alberta has broken ground. It plans to begin operations in January 2027 and store up to 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 per year initially, with room to expand. The project is described as Canada's largest CCS hub. For anyone tracking carbon markets and decarbonization, this is a project to watch. The 2027 target and the actual injection volumes will show whether large-scale CCS can move from announcement to operation in Canada. Expansion capacity matters too, because it determines how much industrial demand the hub can eventually serve.
