Carbon capture developer Entropy Inc has commissioned Phase 2 of its Glacier co-generation project in Saddle Hills County, Alberta, bringing live a first-of-a-kind system that delivers low-carbon power and natural gas.
The asset combines a new 15 MW co-generation installation with fully integrated post-combustion carbon capture, transportation, and storage, serving parent company Advantage Energy’s Glacier Gas Plant.
Building on earlier capture phases operating since 2022, the expansion integrates CCS across 45 MW of total capacity, including eleven gas-fired compression engines and the new gas turbine, targeting CO2 removal rates above 90%.
The facility is expected to capture and permanently sequester 192,000 metric tons of CO2 per year. Under a 15-year power purchase agreement, Entropy will supply Advantage with 6 MW of electricity at $85/MWh, while exporting surplus power to the Alberta grid. Process engineers estimate the design-basis carbon intensity of the power at 84 kg/MWh.
First Post-Combustion CCS On Power Generation Faces Incentive Delays
The milestone marks the first operational post-combustion CCS system on a gas turbine used for power generation.
Global CCS Institute CEO Jarad Daniels lauded the rollout, noting that the technology provides a “low-carbon solution that is highly scalable to help meet today’s growing demand for clean, firm power.”
Entropy expects to publish verified performance data in the coming months using EntropyIQ, its real-time carbon tracking and accounting system.

However, despite reaching full operational status, the company voiced frustration over ongoing government administrative delays related to Canada’s Federal CCUS Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and Alberta’s ACCIP program.
While Entropy has invested over $250 million across its Canadian portfolio, long-running review timelines have delayed funding disbursements.
The company warned that sluggish tax credit processing increases financing costs and diminishes investor certainty just as Canada attempts to attract capital for large-scale decarbonization projects.
