Shell Canada Products has confirmed that it is moving forward with the Polaris carbon capture project in Alberta.

The project is designed to capture about 650,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually from the Scotford refinery and Shell's chemicals facility just outside Edmonton.

Shell also states that it will continue to develop the Atlas Carbon Storage Hub in partnership with ATCO EnPower.

The first phase of the Atlas system will provide permanent underground storage for carbon dioxide through the Polaris project.

Shell is a 50-50 partner with ATCO EnPower in the Atlas carbon storage hub.

Both projects are expected to begin operations by the end of 2028.
