Spectra Energy’s Western Canadian operations have proven experience in small-scale CCS. We have been recognized as a world leader by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change largely because of existing CCS infrastructure already in place and operating in Northeast British Columbia. Several of our existing facilities are equipped with technology and equipment to separate the C02 and inject and permanently store it underground.
