Alberta Carbon Trunk Line (ACTL) system

Overview

The Alberta Carbon Trunk Line (ACTL) system is the world’s newest integrated, large-scale carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) system. Designed as the backbone infrastructure needed to support a lower carbon economy in Alberta, the ACTL system captures industrial emissions and delivers the CO₂ to mature oil and gas reservoirs for use in enhanced oil recovery and permanent storage.  As the world’s largest capacity pipeline for CO₂ from human activity, the ACTL is capable of transporting up to 14.6 million tonnes of CO₂ per year, representing approximately 20% of all current oil sands emissions or equal to the impact of capturing the CO₂ from more than 3 million cars in Alberta. The future of a lower carbon economy relies on key infrastructure like the ACTL system to provide sustainable solutions to global energy requirements.

ACTL Pipeline

The ACTL is the world’s largest capacity pipeline for CO₂ from human activity, capable of transporting up to 14.6 million tonnes of CO₂ per year. Owned and operated by Wolf Midstream, this 240-kilometre pipeline safely transports CO₂ from the current capture and compression sites to aging oil reservoirs in Central Alberta for enhanced oil recovery and secure permanent storage. The ACTL pipeline is the core of an expandable network built to support significant future emissions solutions and new utilization pathways.

Sturgeon Refinery and Nutrien’s Redwater Fertilizer Facility

The ACTL system currently captures CO₂ at the North West Redwater Partnership (NWR) Sturgeon Refinery and Nutrien’s Redwater Fertilizer Facility, offering a sustainable emissions solution for energy and agriculture sectors. The CO₂ is safely transported to mature oil fields in Central Alberta for use in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) before permanent storage.

Carbon Capture

Captured CO₂ is being utilized by Enhance Energy and injected into depleted oil reservoirs for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), kick-starting an innovative new industry of converting an industrial waste product into a valuable feedstock. Enhance is the owner and operator of the Clive field in Alberta where CO₂ will recover 15-20% of the original oil in place trapped within the reservoir before being permanently stored.

Breaking News – Wolf Midstream Application to construct and operate a straddle plant with less than 0.01 moles per kilomole hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the inlet stream as part of the ACTL

NGL Straddle Plant: a gas processing plant located on or near a gas transmission line which removes residual NGLs that remain in the sales gas. The straddle plant operator then replaces the energy equivalent of the liquids removed in the form of natural gas and returns the sales gas to the transmission

    Thanks for your concepts. One thing I’ve got noticed is the fact banks in addition to financial institutions understand the spending behaviors of consumers and as well understand that the majority of people max outside their cards around the breaks. They smartly take advantage of that fact and then start flooding ones inbox in addition to snail-mail box having hundreds of no interest APR credit cards offers shortly after the holiday season closes. Knowing that for anyone who is like 98% in the American general public, you’ll soar at the one opportunity to consolidate consumer credit card debt and switch balances towards 0 interest rate credit cards. mmmlkno https://headachemedi.com – new headache meds
