[에너지신문] 10 November 2015 -Shell starts commercial operations of its Quest carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Alberta, Canada, that is designed to capture and store more than 1 MtCO2/year. Quest will capture one-third of the emissions from Shell’s Scotford Upgrader, which turns oil sands bitumen into synthetic crude that can be refined into fuel and other products. The CO2 is then transported through a 65 km pipeline and injected more than 2 km underground.

Quest was built on behalf of the Athabasca Oil Sands Project joint-venture owners Shell Canada Energy (60%), Chevron Canada Limited (20%) and Marathon Oil Canada Corporation (20%), and was made possible through strong support from the governments of Alberta (C$745, US$690m) and Canada (C$120m, US$110m). As part of its funding arrangements, Shell is publically sharing information on Quest's design and processes to further global adoption of CCS. Quest draws on techniques used by the energy industry for decades and integrates the components of CCS for the large-scale capture, transport and storage of CO2.
