Description
In May 2022, West Lake Energy Corp. submitted a proposal to the Government of Alberta for a permit to evaluate a potential Carbon Capture Sequestration Hub located near Pincher Creek, Alberta.
The Hub is expected to have the capacity to sequester over 2.7 million tonnes of CO2 per year over its expected 30-year lifespan.
The Hub is to be built around three key sources of carbon: a proposed on- site, self-contained blue ammonia plant that would be used to produce fertilizer for the agricultural industry, BowArk Energy Ltd.’s approved gas-fired power generation station and other industrial emitters in the area.
