In Canada, energy is one of the most critical factors for the growth of the nation's economy. However, much of Canada's and the world's energy is derived from burning fossil fuel, which has a major impact on the environment, especially in the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) - a major greenhouse gas - that is emitted, leading to global warming and climate change. Currently, a large amount of CO2 is being produced from industrial sources such as coal-fired power plants, etc. To overcome the CO2 emission problem in industry, there is great interest, especially in western Canada, in capturing CO2 and utilizing it as a flooding agent for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). This approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions has two important benefits: (i) the captured CO2 can be marketed as a commodity, especially for EOR, offsetting the cost of reducing emissions; and (ii) we will be able to make the large-scale emission reductions necessary to meet reduction targets, which are set so as to mitigate as much as possible the damage anticipated to occur as a result of climate change. The long-term goal of the proposed research program is to develop more effective CO2 separation processes for separating CO2 from industrial gas streams, such those produced by coal-fired power plants and oil-sand facilities, at significantly lower capital and operating costs and with minimal operating problems. Another long-term objective is to develop and maintain a strong research group in Canada that is focused on issues of CO2 production for EOR and CO2 greenhouse gas control technologies in order to serve Canadian industries and communities, especially in western Canada where fossil fuel production is the primary economic driver and where reliance on fossil fuel combustion for electricity is both significant and, at present, necessary. This research program is expected to produce more effective and efficient CO2 separation technologies, better understanding of high efficiency gas treating systems, and tools to enable industry to implement and operate CO2 capture processes at greatly reduced costs. Ultimately, the research is expected to achieve significant savings in both capital and operating costs for CO2 separation processes.

在加拿大，能源是国家经济增长的最关键因素之一。 然而，加拿大和世界上的大部分能源都来自燃烧化石燃料，这对环境产生了重大影响，特别是二氧化碳（CO2）-一种主要的温室气体-的排放量，导致全球变暖和气候变化。目前，大量的CO2是从工业源如燃煤发电厂等产生的。为了克服工业中的CO2排放问题，特别是在加拿大西部，人们对捕获CO2并将其用作提高石油采收率（EOR）的驱油剂非常感兴趣。这种减少温室气体排放的方法有两个重要的好处：（i）捕获的二氧化碳可以作为商品销售，特别是用于EOR，抵消减少排放的成本;（ii）我们将能够实现减少目标所需的大规模减排，这些目标是为了尽可能减轻气候变化预期造成的损害。拟议研究计划的长期目标是开发更有效的CO2分离工艺，用于从工业气流中分离CO2，例如燃煤发电厂和油砂设施产生的工业气流，以显著降低的资本和运营成本，并将运营问题降至最低。 另一个长期目标是在加拿大发展和维持一个强有力的研究小组，重点研究EOR的CO2生产问题和CO2温室气体控制技术，以服务于加拿大的工业和社区，特别是在加拿大西部，那里的化石燃料生产是主要的经济驱动力，而且目前对化石燃料燃烧发电的依赖很大，而且是必要的。该研究计划预计将产生更有效和高效的二氧化碳分离技术，更好地了解高效气体处理系统，以及使工业能够以大幅降低的成本实施和操作二氧化碳捕获工艺的工具。 最终，该研究预计将大大节省二氧化碳分离过程的资本和运营成本。
