Stock Market

The Alberta oil patch knows it’s in tough when it comes to its environmental track record, but the industry is working on a variety of new oil sands extraction techniques and other energy savings technology that aim to reduce overall energy use and therefore greenhouse gas emissions. Cenovus Energy Inc. spoke about its efforts at a recent investors conference.

CO2 Solution Inc. is not just focused on the oil sands market for its innovative and low-cost carbon capture technology, president and CEO Evan Price said during the company’s annual general meeting (AGM) last week. He highlighted other markets such as cement production, but noted that the Alberta oil sands project is pretty high profile.

 CO2 Solutions Inc., a Quebec City-based developer of innovative carbon capture technology using carbonic anhydrase, is close getting two more Canadian patents for technology.

HTC CO2 Systems Corp. has been tapped to build Husky Energy a carbon capture plant incorporating its LCDesign CO2 capture technology. The plant will be located at Husky’s Pikes Peak South heavy oil facility in west central Saskatchewan.

The strength of CO2 Solutions Inc. Canadian patent portfolio will soon be that much stronger. The Quebec City-based company announced last week that it has received Notices of Allowance in Canada for two broad patents relating to the use of carbonic anhydrase in capturing CO2 emissions.
