Ottawa-As a major supplier of carbon dioxide from its Redwater, Alberta, nitrogen operations, Agrium Inc. will be one of the participants in a $140 million Canadian government project aimed at capturing and storing CO2 produced by power plants and the fertilizer and petroleum industries, according to the company. An earlier announcement stated that Ottawa will pump the funding into eight demonstration projects, which include a CO2 pipeline project being designed by Enhance Energy to run from the Agrium fertilizer plant and upgrader alley to central Alberta for enhanced oil recovery. “Essentially, this is Enhance Energy’s project, and we are one of the main suppliers of CO2 as we have a large facility in the area and have a relatively pure stream of CO2 from our operations,” Agrium spokesman Brian Gilbertson told Green Markets.
