Canada's CO₂ Capture and Storage TRM 
Appendix B: Roadmap Process

This CCSTRM is the result of a consultative process held mostly from 2003 to 2005, during which four phases were undertaken.

Phase 1: Situation Analysis

A body of background information on the major emitting industry sectors and on geological storage capacity was gathered and compiled for discussion at the first CCSTRM workshop.

Phase 2: Technology Pathways and R&D Strategies

A vision of a de-carbonised energy economy in Canada was developed through two workshops which were used to bring together a broad range of stakeholders, including industry, government, the research community and non-government organizations (NGOs), on the subject. Participants also included international experts on CCS who gave their input into the Canadian process.

The first workshop (September 18 to 19, 2003) was designed to identify CO₂ capture technologies and systems that could be broadly applicable to three key Canadian industry segments: upstream oil & gas, downstream oil & gas and other industry sectors (which included thermal electricity). The second workshop (March 29, 2004) was intended to stimulate discussion on industry's technology needs, and government's information needs, related to CO₂ capture, transportation and storage.

Phase 3: Priority Opportunities for R&D and Deployment

This phase was undertaken to identify opportunities to apply the top priority technologies in pilot, demonstration and commercial-scale projects. The process included the distribution of a draft CCSTRM, with suggested CCS technology applications, to initiate further discussion during a third and final workshop. Participants at the third workshop (February 28, 2005) discussed and commented on the draft CCSTRM. Sessions were held on specific roadmap topics including "putting action to the roadmap", and, "recommended next steps".

Phase 4: Final Draft of CCSTRM Report

Stakeholder input both during and after the 3rd workshop was reviewed and considered for inclusion in the final CCSTRM. A draft roadmap was written for review by the Roadmap Advisory Committee, which worked to provide commentary on a final roadmap that reflects the appropriate tone and content for such a document. Members of the Roadmap Advisory Committee will continue to help in setting up a process for the implementation of the roadmap, to help achieve the objectives identified in The Way Forward of the document.

While the contributors to this document have provided their respective information and perspectives in good faith, and with a view to developing a comprehensive technology roadmap for CO₂ capture and storage, the contributors make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy and completeness of such information or necessarily endorse the collective views or perspectives provided for herein.
