Canada, with its world-class geological storage potential for CO2, is doing its part to contribute to the G8 commitment, and we have been doing so since the beginning of the CCS concept. The Weyburn-Midale project in Saskatchewan — one of the first large-scale efforts in the world — was launched in 2000. This project involves capturing CO2 emissions in North Dakota, transporting the CO2 across the Canada–US border and delivering it for enhanced oil recovery operations. This site also serves as the location for the IEA Weyburn-Midale CO2 Monitoring and Storage Project. As a founding member of this initiative, Canada, and its many private and public sector partners, is contributing to one of the largest international CO2 measuring, monitoring and verification projects in the world.
