​​​​​​​​​​Carbon Sequestration Tenure​​​​

Alberta Energy and Minerals is accepting applications for carbon sequestration tenure for projects where it can be demonstrated that a carbon sequestration hub will not address needs. Proponents will be asked to provide information on the proposed activity and area of interest. They will also be required to identify and address overlapping interests and activities in the location. Ultimately, this process will facilitate the granting of two agreements:

  • A tenure agreement, that grants the right to sequester carbon dioxide into a subsurface reservoir (pore space).
     
  • A unit agreement that addresses the varying interests and activities within the Location, including Crown interests.​

If you have any questions or need help with carbon sequestration tenure applications, please email carboncapture.energy@gov.ab.ca.
