Details of the new program, which had been outlined in the government’s fall economic statement, remain unclear, but Joly said there are plans for Small Business Minister Mary Ng to provide details imminently.

As a world pioneer in power sector carbon capture and storage, Estevan is an ideal location for one of the initial Canadian NET Power deployments. NET Power’s Allam-Fetvedt cycle technology combusts natural gas with oxygen, as opposed to air, and uses supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) as a working fluid to drive the turbine and produce zero-emission electricity. This cycle can hit the same efficiency of a traditional power plant while capturing all of its carbon dioxide (CO2) and eliminating all air pollutants. As the inventor of the Allam-Fetvedt cycle, 8 Rivers is ideally situated to partner with the city to hit their energy and economic goals.
