Massachusetts-based Mantel said it would begin designing a carbon capture project in Alberta, where it plans to gather around 60,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. The company did not disclose which Canadian oilsands producer it was working with. (The Logic)

Talking point: The partnership comes just weeks after Alberta and Ottawa signed their landmark energy deal that seeks to rapidly expand Canada’s carbon capture capacity. The U.S. company uses a technology that generates high-temperature steam as it separates CO2 using a salt-based mixture. Mantel is also using the process at a demonstration plant in Quebec that it says will capture around 2,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. Alberta’s deal with Ottawa, which sought to reset the energy relationship between the two governments, could unlock as much as $90 billion in low-carbon investments like carbon capture, according to the think tank Clean Prosperity.
