Dr. Don Lawton, CaMI Director
Carbon Management Canada (CMC) has established CMC Research Institutes, Inc. with a mission to accelerate the commercial uptake and widespread implementation of industrial GHG mitigation technologies through establishment of a series of research institutes.
The first of these, the Containment and Monitoring Institute (CaMI), is developing a comprehensive Field Research Station (FRS) to facilitate and accelerate research and development leading to improved understandings and technologies for geological containment and storage of CO2 and monitoring of fossil fuel production and environmental mitigation.
New Technologies Needed
Unconventional fossil fuel extraction (e.g. shale gas and in-situ oil sands) and carbon capture and storage (CCS) require radical new approaches and innovative technologies to be developed for sampling, measurement and monitoring methodologies in order to provide comprehensive models of the subsurface and to ensure containment and operational and environmental conformance. Subsurface research has never been more important than it is today, and new sensing and sampling technologies are required. New businesses and technologies will be needed not only for regulatory compliance (verification) but also for leak detection mitigation, source identification and crucial performance validation to drive the improvement of processes and to alleviate public concerns about technical safety.
