Thousands Expected at Carbon Capture Convention Amid Pathways Project Decisions

More than 5,000 people are expected in Edmonton next month for Carbon Capture Canada 2026, a national convention focused on carbon capture, utilization and storage.

The event will run from September 15 to 17 at the Edmonton Convention Centre and features over 150 speakers from government, industry and academia.

Among the scheduled speakers are Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, Natural Resources Canada assistant deputy minister Frank Des Rosiers, and Oil Sands Alliance president Kendall Dilling.

The convention follows a memorandum of understanding between Canada, Alberta and the Oil Sands Alliance concerning the Pathways carbon capture project, with definitive agreements expected this fall.
