Carbon storage and transportation is a key, and final step to the CCS/CCUS process, taking the captured carbon and storing it deep underground. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is now accepting expressions of interest (EOIs) from organizations seeking government funding to develop carbon storage and transportation technologies.

On January 25, NRCan opened the intake for EOIs for research, design and development (RD&D) projects and activities related to carbon storage and transportation. The intake remains open until April 17, 2023. Successful applicants will be invited to submit a full project proposal.

This is the latest intake for EOIs for government funding to support the development of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies. In July of last year, NRCan began accepting EOIs from organizations developing novel carbon capture technologies. Those applications are now under review.

La Cour d'appel du Québec confirme une indemnité de 15,7 M$ contre un donneur d'ouvrage pour manquement à son devoir de bonne foi dans l'affaire PG4 c. Énergir.

President Trump Announces U.S. Counter-tariffs On Canada: Are They Lawful?

President Trump has invoked Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to impose new counter-tariffs on Canadian goods including dairy, alcohol, motorcycles, and metal products. The legality of this rarely-used statutory provision remains untested in court, raising questions about presidential tariff authority under the U.S. Constitution.
