“Wolf’s experience in carbon capture and transportation, Whitecap’s expertise in carbon injection and operations and our traditional knowledge and historical perspective makes this a compelling partnership. “Working with Wolf and Whitecap is an exciting step forward in partnering with industry leaders who share our values”, said Chief of Alexis Sioux First Nation, Chief Tony Alexis. “It is this collective experience along with the inclusion and assistance of our First Nations partners, that provides confidence to the industrial parties supporting this project of an efficient and safe solution to decarbonize their businesses within a very constructive, forward-thinking partnership.” “This project has a unique combination of experience and technical expertise, bringing Wolf as the operator of the largest existing CO 2 trunk line in Canada together with Whitecap as the operator of the largest anthropogenic carbon sequestration project in the world”, said Grant Fagerheim, President and CEO of Whitecap Resources. “In addition, the hub will be connected to the ACTL, maximizing one of the province’s vital decarbonization investments.” The ACTL became operational in 2020 and celebrated two million tonnes of third-party CO 2 transported to permanent storage at the end of 2021, demonstrating Wolf’s capabilities and the impact a large CCUS system can have in reducing emissions. This hub will support key net-zero projects currently in development and further propel Alberta towards a lower carbon economy.” said Jeff Pearson, President, Carbon, Wolf Midstream. ![]() “We are incredibly optimistic about the partnership we’ve formed. The Indigenous Owners, as Treaty rights holders, strengthen important stakeholder relationships and provide traditional knowledge and historical perspective for the project. ![]() The FNCIP was recently formed by Four Treaty 6 Nations – Alexander First Nation, Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation, Enoch Cree Nation and Paul First Nation – to pursue ownership in major infrastructure projects with commercial partners who share Indigenous values. Whitecap is a Canadian energy company based in Alberta with decades of CO 2 injection and subsurface project experience. Wolf is an Alberta-based world leader in CCUS and the largest independent CO 2 infrastructure operator in North America through its ownership and operation of the Alberta Carbon Trunk Line (ACTL). “The presence of the ACTL was one of the factors that led us to select Edmonton for our net-zero hydrogen energy complex.” Wolf, Whitecap, the FNCIP and the Indigenous Owners have the experience, capability, and community trust to safely deliver a critical piece of energy infrastructure near Edmonton that will enable substantial decarbonization beginning in 2024,” said Seifi Ghasemi, Air Products’ Chairman, President and CEO. “Air Products strongly supports the carbon sequestration hub proposed by this innovative partnership. The partners will initiate development work immediately to ensure an in-service date prior to the end of 2024. ![]() The combined carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) expertise and experience of the project proponents will enable the timely and safe delivery of sequestration services in this critical industrial center. These projects are projected to provide initial CO 2 delivery to the hub of between two to three million tonnes per annum (MTPA) with ultimate hub volumes that could exceed six MTPA. Wolf has executed agreements with several parties who have offered support of the Wolf sequestration proposal including Air Products which is constructing a major net-zero hydrogen energy complex in the region. The sequestration hub will serve large facilities in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland that are seeking an independent and timely sequestration solution. ![]() CALGARY, AB – Wolf Midstream (Wolf), Whitecap Resources (Whitecap), the First Nation Capital Investment Partnership (FNCIP) and Heart Lake First Nation (Indigenous Owners) have jointly proposed a saline aquifer sequestration hub in the Fort Saskatchewan area to transform the future of carbon reduction through the development of world-scale CO 2 infrastructure.
