How One Oil-Rich Province Could Help Canada Capture a Low-Carbon Future It s not the oil and gas that is a concern, it s the carbon emissions.

TORONTO, May 7 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) At a research site in rural Alberta, carbon dioxide is injected deep into the ground. Using remote sensors, scientists monitor its movement to ensure the planet-heating gas does not migrate upwards. Basically, think of ultrasound on bodies we re doing ultrasound on the earth, said Don Lawton, director of the Containment and Monitoring Institute and a geophysics professor at the University of Calgary.
The research findings are shared with oil and gas companies exploring ways to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) during production before the greenhouse gas is released into the atmosphere, and storing it underground or using it for other purposes.

CALGARY The CEO of Enbridge Inc. says “bad things” will happen if Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer succeeds in carrying out her order to shut down its Line 5 pipeline through the Great Lakes region next week. But Al Monaco added he doesn t think that s going to happen given court-ordered negotiations between the state and his company, and Enbridge s court battle against the order to shut down the pipeline that runs beneath the Straits of Mackinac by May 12. “You just can t take 540,000 barrels per day out of the market and not have bad things happen, ultimately, to consumers and pet-chems (petrochemical plants) and refineries. It s just a very bad outcome,” said Monaco on a conference call Friday to discuss first-quarter results.
