What is this funding for?
Support to complete FEED studies for CCUS projects
Program Description
Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) is a proven and crucial tool for reducing emissions, particularly for sectors that are challenging to decarbonize. CCUS can effectively reduce emissions in hard-to-abate industries such as iron, steel, chemicals and cement production, where it often represents the most cost-effective deep decarbonization option. Furthermore, it enables the production of low-carbon electricity and clean fuels, including blue hydrogen, which can be used to decarbonize a wider range of sectors. By providing a pathway for low-carbon energy sources, CCUS also enhances Canada's economic competitiveness and trade opportunities.
To position Canada as a leader in CCUS solutions, this call for proposals supports proponents undertaking the complex, resource-intensive engineering and project definition activities required to complete Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) studies for CCUS projects. A FEED study represents a pivotal stage in the project development lifecycle. It is a detailed engineering effort that follows preliminary and conceptual design studies that fully validate the feasibility of the proposed project and outline the preferred design pathway. The primary purpose of a FEED study is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the project scope, a detailed Class 3 cost estimate, a refined risk register, and a robust project schedule.
