Winners
  • · Alberta's oil sands producers
  • · Carbon capture technology providers
  • · Canadian government
  • · Environmental engineering firms
Losers
  • · Opponents of fossil fuel production
  • · Regions without CCS infrastructure
Second-order effects
Direct

A deal facilitates large-scale carbon capture deployment in one of the world's largest oil-producing regions.

Second

Successful implementation in Alberta could set a precedent and accelerate CCS adoption in other major oil and gas basins globally.

Third

The growth of CCS could lead to a re-evaluation of the long-term viability of hydrocarbon assets and potentially alter the geopolitical energy landscape.
