À Thetford Mines, on creuse pour enfouir du carbone 1000 mètres sous terre
AI Article Summary
Deep Sky is conducting a carbon sequestration project in Thetford Mines, Quebec, by drilling 1,000 meters underground. Backed by public and private funds, the project aims to sequester 500,000 tons of CO2 annually and sell carbon credits to international companies. The unique geology of Thetford Mines is suitable for CO2 mineralization, a process already used in Iceland. Further project stages require regulatory frameworks in Quebec and environmental assessments.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project demonstrates how carbon sequestration innovation can transform old industrial infrastructures into sustainable development resources. For Quebec builders, this signifies potential demand for expertise in deep drilling and CO2 capture technologies, along with an increased need to adapt to new environmental regulations. Additionally, such projects could impact costs and financing associated with green technologies in Quebec.
