Alberta Industrial Heartland AIH1 Waste-to-Energy with Carbon Capture Project

planned

The AIH1 project in Alberta, Canada, is the country's first waste-to-energy facility integrated with carbon capture and storage. It converts municipal solid waste into clean power while permanently storing captured carbon underground. The facility is designed to divert approximately 205,000 tonnes of municipal waste annually and capture over 130,000 tonnes of CO₂ for permanent sequestration. It will connect to Alberta's CO₂ transport network and utilize deep saline aquifers for storage. The project aims to operate for 25 years, diverting over 5 million tonnes of waste from landfills, storing 3.2 million tonnes of CO₂, and delivering about 7 megawatts of low-carbon electricity to the grid.
