Pathways Carbon Capture Project

non-binding agreement, pending final investment decision and regulatory approval

The Pathways carbon capture project is a large-scale industrial decarbonisation initiative in northern Alberta, Canada, led by a consortium of five major oil sands producers. It is designed to capture CO₂ from oil sands operations, transport it via a 650-plus kilometre pipeline network, and permanently store it underground near Cold Lake, Alberta. The project is planned for phased construction with Phase 1 targeting 6 million metric tons of CO₂ capture per year by 2032, expanding to up to 40 million metric tons annually by 2050.
