Shell doubles down with Canada FIDs
Oil major takes FIDs on its Polaris carbon-capture project at Scotford refinery and chemicals complex and Atlas Carbon Storage Hub
Shell has a clear strategic focus: clean up its oil and gas operations using CCS technologies. The international energy company has announced FID for the Polaris project at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park, Scotford in Alberta, Canada that aims to capture about 650,000t/yr of CO₂ from the complex. In addition, Shell has announced FID on the Atlas Carbon Storage Hub in partnership with ATCO EnPower. The first phase of the project will provide permanent underground storage for CO₂ captured by Polaris. Both projects should be up and running by the end of 2028. The double-pronged approach highlights how Shell sees CCS as a key technology to achieving climate goals by reducing CO₂ from its own
