Through the industry-funded TIER program, Alberta’s government is investing $28 million to support six projects using technologies that will help energy companies save money, reduce environmental impacts and stay globally competitive.
Using Emissions Reduction Alberta’s Industrial Transformation Challenge, these innovations will protect pipelines, turn farm waste into energy instead of pollution, restore well sites and keep lowering methane emissions. This investment supports Alberta’s efforts to continue producing the most responsible energy in the world while doubling production by 2035.
“We’re increasing energy production and protecting the environment at the same time. The world wants our energy, and these technologies can help us deliver while lowering emissions and keeping our industries competitive for decades to come. We’re investing in made-in-Alberta projects because nobody innovates faster and better than Albertans.”
Grant Hunter, Minister of Environment and Protected Areas
“Alberta was built by and continues to be built by innovators. It is because of these efforts we are the economic engine of Canada and global demand continues to grow for our responsibly produced energy.”
Brian Jean, Minister of Energy and Minerals
These six projects span the province’s energy sector and economy. For example, with provincial funding, Suffield will test a new technology that makes carbon capture pipelines even more secure, while a first-of-its-kind technology will turn farm waste from cattle into natural gas in Coaldale.
