CO2 SOLUTIONS PROVIDES UPDATE ON CARBON CAPTURE PROJECT WITH HUSKY ENERGY
CO2 Solutions Inc. is providing an update on the progress of its
pilot project with Husky Energy for the capture of carbon dioxide in the oil industry.
As announced in April, 2014, CO2 Solutions entered into a collaboration agreement with Husky Energy to
install and operate a pilot unit at Husky's Pikes Peak South heavy oil
site in Saskatchewan. To accommodate operating parameters within the
project budget, the facility will now be sized to capture up to 10
tonnes of CO2 per day. The project is financed in part by the Canadian government's
ecoENERGY innovation initiative program, as previously
announced on Jan. 24, 2013.
In line with its earlier communicated schedule, CO2 Solutions has now completed the design review and detailed engineering
phase for the pilot installation in collaboration with
consulting engineering firm Seneca, based in Montreal. A rendering of the pilot plant can
be viewed at the company's website. Procurement has started, and construction is planned to be completed in
early calendar first-quarter 2015, with commissioning of the pilot plant also
scheduled for calendar first-quarter 2015. Operation of the pilot unit is expected
to conclude in calendar third quarter of 2015, which would represent over 2,500
hours of field operation of the technology.
"We are progressing well and according to plan with this key project
towards the commercialization of our technology," said Evan Price,
president and chief executive officer of CO2 Solutions. "Seneca is a first-class engineering firm with [a] proven track
record at building pilot units, and we are pleased to have them as a
member of our team. Successful completion of the project will
significantly enhance our position towards becoming a key low-cost
provider of CO2 and will allow us to pursue the many opportunities we have identified
for the commercial application of our technology, such as in enhanced
oil recovery."
In April, 2014, the company announced it had exceeded the second set
of technical performance milestones in large bench-scale testing,
validating the technology's ability to realistically lower the cost of
CO2 capture to significantly below that associated with current carbon
capture technologies.
