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。 但是，加拿大和世界上的大部分能量都是源于燃烧的化石燃料，这对环境产生了重大影响，尤其是在二氧化碳（CO2）（CO2）的数量（一种主要的温室气体）中产生的，这会散发出来，从而导致全球变暖和气候变化。目前，为了克服工业中的二氧化碳排放问题，从工业来源（例如燃煤发电厂等）生产了大量二氧化碳，尤其是在加拿大西部捕获CO2并将其用作增强石油回收（EOR）的洪水剂。减少温室气体排放的方法具有两个重要的好处：（i）被捕获的二氧化碳可以作为商品销售，尤其是对于EOR而言，可以抵消减少排放的成本； （ii）我们将能够使满足减少目标所需的大规模排放减少，以便尽可能减轻由于气候变化而预期发生的损害。拟议的研究计划的长期目标是开发更有效的二氧化碳分离过程，以将二氧化碳与工业气流分开，例如燃煤发电厂和石油砂设施生产的二氧化碳分离过程，其资本和运营成本明显较低，而且运营问题很小。 另一个长期目标是在加拿大发展和维护一个强大的研究小组，该小组的重点是EOR和CO2温室气体控制技术的二氧化碳生产问题，以服务于加拿大工业和社区，尤其是在加拿大西部，在加拿大西部，在加拿大西部，化石燃料的生产是主要的经济驱动力，并且对电力燃料的依赖既重要，又是目前的，并且目前是必不可少的。预计该研究计划将产生更有效，更有效的CO2分离技术，对高效率气体处理系统的更好理解以及使行业能够以大大降低成本实施和运营CO2捕获过程的工具。 最终，预计该研究将为CO2分离过程的资本和运营成本均节省大量资金。
