Thursday, April 3 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM ET
As the world continues to address the urgent need for climate action, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has emerged as an important technology for supporting greenhouse gas emissions reduction. In this 1-hour webinar, CCS initiatives in the Great Lakes region will be explored, with a special emphasis on Ontario’s role in the development of these projects. Attendees will get a better understanding of the CCS landscape, and the challenges and opportunities that exist with implementing it at scale in the region.
We’ll hear from Jeff Cadotte, Manager, S&T Low Carbon Business Development for Enbridge Gas Inc. (EGI), who will discuss the approach Enbridge is taking with CCS across North America as well as CCS project development in the Great Lakes region. He’ll provide an overview of the state of CCS in Ontario, touching on its geology, regulations and frameworks for CCS, funding mechanisms and incentives, plus the importance of stakeholder engagement.
Join us for an insightful session that will offer valuable perspectives and practical takeaways for advancing CCS projects in the Great Lakes region.
This webinar is hosted as part of The Great Lakes Carbon Collaborative, a joint initiative of the Council of the Great Lakes Region and the US Business Council for Sustainable Development.
