Alberta Carbon Trunk Line
The Alberta Carbon Trunk Line (ACTL) is a pipeline completed in July 2020, that collects carbon dioxide (CO2) in the province of Alberta and transports it to various subsurface storage complexes and depleted oil reservoirs around the province for sequestration and enhanced oil recovery applications. Constructed, owned, and operated by Wolf Midstream, the ACTL sources its CO2 from a fertilizer manufacturing plant in Redwater, and the North West Redwater Partnership bitumen upgrading plant using gasification. It will initially funnel the collected CO2 to Clive, a field discovered in the 1950s and currently owned by Enhance Energy which produces about 300 barrels per day. Expected specifications of captured CO2 The ACTL is expected to be the world's largest carbon capture and storage project. It will store of CO2 per year, six times more than the Weyburn project in Saskatchewan. Initially, the project should collect and transport of CO2 per day and is expected to expand to of CO2 per day. Timeline Plans for the ACTL began in 2004, but were put on hold due to the Great Recession in 2008. However, the ACTL was restarted after the recession with a license for construction and operation issued in April 2011. The ACTL
