Canada's CO₂ Capture and Storage TRM 
Acknowledgements

Natural Resources Canada, Alberta Energy Research Institute and the Alberta Research Council, the co-leads of Canada's Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage Technology Roadmap (CCSTRM), wish to acknowledge the vision, energy, financial support, and in-kind assistance of all contributors to the roadmap.

Financial Support and In-kind Assistance

The CCSTRM received primary funding from Industry Canada and Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). The following organizations also provided in-kind or financial support (in alphabetical order).

• Advanced Resources International
• Alberta Energy Research Institute
• Alberta Energy and Utilities Board
• Alberta Environment
• Alberta Research Council
• BP North America Corporation
• CANMET Energy Technology Centre–Devon
• CANMET Energy Technology Centre–Ottawa
• Carnegie Mellon University
• CO2CRC Program
• International Energy Agency Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme
• Fluor Canada Ltd.
• Natural Resources Canada
• Natural Resources Defense Council
• Statoil
• United States Department of Energy
• University of Regina

Individual Efforts

The following individuals are acknowledged for their direct contributions to the CCSTRM. These individuals assisted on numerous occasions, both during and in between the workshops, and carried out much of the background research and the technical assessments that support the document (again in alphabetical order).

• Bill Gunter, Alberta Research Council
• Bill Pearson, Natural Resources Canada
• Bill Reynen, Natural Resources Canada
• Doug Macdonald, SNC-Lavalin (Downstream Oil and Gas Committee Leader)
• John Barrie, Fluor Daniel (Industrial Committee Leader)
• Kelly Thambimuthu, Natural Resources Canada
• Ken Brown, Alberta Research Council (Upstream Oil and Gas Committee Leader)
• Murlidhar Gupta, Natural Resources Canada

Appendix A provides a list of all the workshop participants (with special acknowledgments indicated for those who worked with one of the three committees), whose involvement and advice was greatly appreciated.

CCSTRM — Roadmap Advisory Committee

A special acknowledgement is given to Roadmap Advisory Committee members for their effort in providing feedback on drafts, attending meetings and putting the finishing touches on the final CCSTRM document.

• Bill Gunter, Alberta Research Council
• Bill Reynen, Natural Resources Canada
• Bob Stobbs, SaskPower and Energy Innovation Network (EnergyINet)
• Brent Lakeman, Alberta Research Council
• Eddy Isaacs, Alberta Energy Research Institute
• George Pan, EnCana Corporation
• Malcolm Wilson, University of Regina and EnergyINet
• Murlidhar Gupta, Natural Resources Canada
• Richard Luhning, Enbridge Inc.
• Stefan Bachu, Alberta Energy and Utilities Board
• Stephen Kaufman, Suncor Energy Inc.

Authors of Roadmap Documents

The following are the pre-draft and final authors of the CCSTRM.

• Bob Mitchell, Inspired Value Inc. (author of preliminary draft roadmap)
• John Van Ham, Van Ham Resources Inc. (author of the final roadmap)

Everyone involved in the roadmap exercise wishes to acknowledge the work of Donna Baskin, whose dedication in organizing the three roadmap workshops, developing and maintaining the CCSTRM website, and support in writing and publishing the CCSTRM is greatly appreciated. Irene Coyle was an invaluable resource early on in the roadmap process and her assistance is also acknowledged.

Other Information Sources

The roadmap process benefited greatly from existing initiatives in Canada. The Canadian Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage Technology Network (CCCSTN), which was established to promote the development and deployment of zero emissions technology in Canada, provided valuable information and resources.

The Alberta Research Council recently completed two reports on carbon dioxide capture and storage: The CANiCAP Program, and The CANiSTORE Program (Gunter et al, 2005; Gunter et al, 2004). These reports lay out planning options for the research, development and deployment of technology and knowledge related to CO₂ capture, transportation and geological storage in Canada.

The Clean Coal Technology Roadmap (CCTRM), recently released by Natural Resources Canada, is a sister document to the CCSTRM because of the strong relationship in subject matter (CCTRM, 2005). The development of clean coal technology is extremely dependent on CCS technology, and because coal-fired power plants represent a large opportunity for CCS, the latter is impacted by the success of clean coal. The CCTRM and CCSTRM together provide a consistent message on the value of low-emissions fossil fuels.

Other Canadian roadmap documents, including the Oil Sands Technology Roadmap and the Hydrogen Roadmap, also provide information and analysis used in the CCSTRM (ACR, 2004; H₂FCC, 2004).

As with any document of this type the CCSTRM is a snapshot in time. The situation is constantly changing and this document should be considered a work in progress to be augmented and added to as progress is made.
