Bison Low-Carbon Ventures Inc (Bison), acting as the operator for the Meadowbrook CO2 Storage Hub (the Meadowbrook Project), has announced that it received D065 scheme approval from the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) on February 19, 2025.
Pending fulfillment of the approval’s conditions, the Meadowbrook Project is set to begin its commercial operations at its location in Sturgeon County, Alberta, by the end of 2025.
The Meadowbrook Project is believed to be the first initiative under Alberta’s open-access carbon sequestration hub program to reach this significant milestone.
Bison is supported by key investors, including Marubeni Corporation and Mizuho Bank Ltd, and plans to expand the Meadowbrook Project in phases, starting with small-scale operations (<100ktpa) and scaling up to more than 3Mtpa as the demand for CO2 storage grows.
The project will provide a reliable CO2 sequestration solution to industrial emitters in the Edmonton region, offering a strategic and permanent storage option, especially due to its early operational timeline and the favorable characteristics of the Woodbend Group storage reservoir.
With its innovative approach to carbon sequestration and strong backing, Bison is poised to play a key role in Alberta’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions and support the region’s transition to a more sustainable energy future.
