Enbridge

Brief description:

Enbridge transports and distributes energy across North America through the employment of more than 6,000 people in Canada and the United States.

Enbridge is a leader in the design and construction of pipeline infrastructure, as well as extensive knowledge in CO₂ sequestration.

CCS

Enbridge is involved in two initiatives in Canada that are investigating the feasibility of the long-term commercial sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in deep saline aquifers. CO₂ capture, pipelining and sequestration developments are widely considered to be one of the most immediate, feasible and meaningful ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions on a large scale and address the challenges posed by climate change. Enbridge is leading a consortium of 38 energy industry participants in the Alberta Saline Aquifer Project (ASAP), and we are one of five participants in the Saskatchewan Aquistore project, which is managed by the Petroleum Technology Research Centre.
