University of Calgary Proposal

Canada Excellence Research Chair in Carbon Capture and Storage
This Chair would provide international scientific leadership for a multi-disciplinary research centre focused on quickly implementing cost-effective, environmentally secure, publicly supported Canadian carbon capture and storage projects. Through a new Centre on Carbon Capture and Storage, the Chair would engage the University of Calgary's remarkably broad expertise in this area to make Canada the global leader in the development and application of this critical environmental technology. Carbon capture and storage is one of the few carbon-management technologies compatible with existing fossil fuel infrastructure, and could drastically reduce greenhouse gas emission within the next 10 to 20 years.
