Teck Trail secures C$10m for CCUS pilot project
Mining company Teck has secured a boost for its carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) pilot project at the Trial Operations, in British Columbia.
The CleanBC Industry Fund has granted Teck Trail C$10-million in funding support, highlighting the government’s commitment to sustainable industrial practices.
With construction of the CCUS pilot plant already in progress, the funding will enable Teck Trail Operations to accelerate the evaluation of various options for the captured carbon dioxide (CO2).
“Teck is continually evaluating opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint while supplying the critical resources required for a low-carbon future,” said CEO Jonathan Price.
“This funding will help advance our innovative carbon capture pilot at Trail Operations, with important support from CleanBC, which is an excellent example of the alignment and collaboration between industry and government in achieving our shared climate goals.”
The CCUS pilot project supports Teck’s climate action strategy including the goal to reduce the carbon intensity of operations by 33% by 2030 and become a net zero operator by 2050. The CCUS pilot is expected to begin operations late this year.
Once operational, the Trail CCUS pilot is expected to capture CO2 from Trail Operations at a rate of 1 t/d. If successful, the project could be scaled up to an industrial CCUS plant with the potential to capture over 100 000 t/y of CO2 at Trail Operations, the equivalent emissions of more than 20 000 cars.
