A "made in Canada" solution

Project Pioneer represents a major step toward advancing the capture of greenhouse gas emissions. The project entails the construction of a large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) facility at a coal-fired generating station west of Edmonton, Alberta jointly owned by TransAlta and Capital Power.  Project Pioneer is a unique public/private partnership further committed to the responsible use and development of natural resources while providing reliable and affordable energy for all.
