The Woodrow Wilson Center Cross-Border Forums on Energy Issues have evolved into a regular, structured exchange of views on the challenges confronting the energy sector in North America. To ensure substantive discussion and interaction, the format for the forums revolves around a closed-door discussion among participants, who also hear presentations by guest panelists.
The Canada Institute has worked alongside the Canadian Centre for Energy Information, the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C. and other partners to organize these forums. Corporate sponsors have also played a crucial role in supporting successive Woodrow Wilson Center Cross-Border Forums on Energy Issues.
Ninth Cross-Border Forum on Energy Issues – March 6, 2008
"Carbon Capture and Storage - Should we? Can we? Can the United States and Canada move the marker by working together?" is the ninth in our series of Cross-Border Forums on Energy which will take place on March 6, 2008 at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, D.C.
This forum will assess the importance of carbon capture and storage to Canada and the United States in developing resources and addressing climate change. If deemed an important tool, can Canada and the United States work together to successfully apply it?

Carbon capture and storage in Canada
The tectonically stable Western Canada Sedimentary Basin is ideally suited for CCS. Reservoirs that contained Western Canada’s vast oil and gas reserves may securely contain carbon dioxide. Further, many of the large CO2 emitters, including coal-fired electricity generators and oilsands operators, are located in Western Canada where CO2 capture and transportation technologies are already in place.
