Carbon Capture Canada 2025

The Carbon Capture Canada 2025, organized by dmg events, is Canada's national convention dedicated to advancing carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies, uniting industry leaders, policymakers, innovators, and stakeholders to accelerate decarbonization in high-emission sectors like energy, cement, and manufacturing. Held at the Edmonton Convention Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, this three-day event from September 23-25, 2025, attracts thousands of professionals, featuring an extensive exhibition floor with over 100 exhibitors, strategic and technical conferences, interactive workshops, site tours, and awards to showcase "shovel-ready" projects and foster global investment in CCUS.

Purpose and Objectives

The primary purpose of Carbon Capture Canada 2025 is to position Canada as a leader in CCUS by facilitating collaboration across industry, government, and Indigenous communities to deploy scalable technologies that reduce emissions and support a low-carbon economy, amid a projected record number of global final investment decisions for CCUS projects in 2025. The event aims to address challenges like regulatory certainty, capital investment, emerging technologies, geopolitics, and carbon markets, while highlighting Canada's competitive advantages such as federal funding under the Energy Innovation Program and projects like Heidelberg's CCUS initiative at its Edmonton cement plant. It seeks to drive actionable strategies for doubling CCUS deployment, promoting partnerships, and aligning with net-zero ambitions through knowledge exchange and innovation.

Key Activities

The event features a two-day conference program with strategic sessions on topics like investment in CCS infrastructure, policy frameworks, and post-election CCUS strategies, including keynote interviews and panels on decarbonizing Canada's energy industry, alongside technical sessions on innovations from test centers and commercial plants. Attendees can explore an expanded exhibition hall showcasing CCUS products and solutions from over 100 companies, participate in hands-on workshops for practical insights into system design, emissions reduction, and project planning, and join site tours to operational facilities in Alberta for real-world demonstrations. Additional highlights include the Carbon Capture Canada Awards gala on September 23, recognizing excellence in eight categories such as carbon capture projects, storage, utilization, and innovation, plus networking receptions and B2B meetings to connect with international delegations.

Significance

Hosted at the Edmonton Convention Centre, a key venue in Alberta's energy hub, Carbon Capture Canada 2025 underscores Canada's pioneering role in CCUS amid global shifts toward execution of over 200 projects, emphasizing the need for cross-sector collaboration to overcome barriers in infrastructure, permitting, and financing. By gathering professionals from heavy industry, government, and international markets, it promotes partnerships to tackle emissions in hard-to-abate sectors, influencing policy like the National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and investments exceeding $21.5 million in Alberta-based CCUS advancements. The event's focus on tangible progress, such as Deep Sky's operations and federal support, positions it as an essential platform for accelerating global decarbonization, fostering economic growth through job creation and innovation in a competitive landscape.

Expected Outcomes

Carbon Capture Canada 2025 is expected to catalyze new investments, partnerships, and project deployments that enhance CCUS scalability, enabling attendees to implement strategies for emissions reduction, technology integration, and regulatory navigation, potentially doubling deployment by leveraging "shovel-ready" initiatives. Participants will form networks with global stakeholders, gain insights from case studies and awards, and access tools for advancing carbon markets and Indigenous collaborations, leading to measurable impacts like increased final investment decisions and policy advancements. The event aims to inspire ongoing innovations, boost Canada's export of CCUS solutions, and contribute to broader net-zero goals through collective action and knowledge sharing.
