Engineering complete for 1.5-million-tonne CO2 hub near Clive, Alberta
Gas Liquids Engineering has finished the detailed engineering work for Enhance Energy's Origins Carbon Capture and Storage Hub, clearing the way for construction to proceed toward a 2027 start date.
Why it matters
The Origins Hub represents a major expansion of Alberta's carbon capture industry, with construction now moving forward toward a 2027 in-service target.
Gas Liquids Engineering Ltd. has completed the detailed engineering scope for Enhance Energy Inc.'s Origins Carbon Capture and Storage Hub, covering the CO₂ pipeline and associated facilities that will connect existing transportation infrastructure to the hub near Clive, Alberta.
The engineering work included pipeline hydraulics, process and mechanical design, civil and structural engineering, electrical and instrumentation systems, controls and telecommunications, pipeline integrity, and safety and construction planning. Stuart MacKenzie, president and CEO of Gas Liquids Engineering, called the completion an important milestone for carbon capture and storage in Alberta and for his company, noting it builds on the province's existing CCS network.
Construction of the Origins Hub is now underway, with the project expected to enter service in early 2027. The federal government has described it as Canada's biggest carbon capture storage project. It will initially be capable of permanently storing up to 1.5 million tonnes of CO₂ annually, with room to expand capacity over time.
The project was formally announced about a month before this engineering milestone was reached.
