Maintaining momentum at Carbon Capture Canada
October 20, 2025
With delegates from Austria, Spain, Singapore, the UAE and more, this fall’s Carbon Capture Canada Conference was a veritable mini-UN as ministers, policymakers, energy leaders, and innovators gathered to discuss all things carbon capture and storage (CCS).
Hosted in Alberta’s Capital, thousands of participants from 13 different countries flocked to Edmonton to hear from keynote speakers, network with innovators and learn from technical experts. As one of the event sponsors, Pathways Alliance was proud to help support conversations focused on progressing this important technology.
A wide range of speakers appeared on the conference mainstage, covering CCS-related topics including cross-border innovation, scaling and deployment, and policy and capital investment. Alberta Premier, Danielle Smith, gave an address focused on the potential of carbon capture technology and of Alberta’s opportunity to play a leading role in its implementation.
In the conference exhibition hall, companies from across the globe shared their breakthrough technologies from clean tech and hydrogen solutions to AI-driven optimization and next-generation infrastructure, highlighting the depth and diversity of expertise driving the industry forward.
Leading technical specialists delivered in-depth presentations on topics related to CCS at the conference Knowledge Bars – one of which was sponsored by Pathways Alliance. These areas served as a forum for knowledge sharing and peer-to-peer learning as experts delved into the details of more technical CCS topics and answered questions from the audience.
Each year, this conference serves as an important opportunity to help unlock investment, showcase innovation, and forge policies and partnerships that help stimulate progress in the carbon capture landscape. And with 200 global CCS projects targeting final investment decisions in 2025, there’s lots of momentum to build on. In the words of Premier Smith, “momentum is no longer theoretical—it’s real, and it’s driving CCUS forward at scale.”
