Carbon Capture project at Boundary Dam receives award

1. Carbon capture works in Estevan

As a city, Estevan is known for its power generation, but one day it may be recognizable for the powerful women who come from within its boundaries.

While there are a number of factors that make geothermal power an attractive proposal in the Estevan area, perhaps the key that makes Estevan more feasible than other places is that it鈥檚 not a big job creator.

Tracking a career as a welder just became a whole lot easier with the arrival of the Welding Certificate Program at the Saskatchewan Energy Training Institute (SETI) campus in Estevan.

The DEEP Geothermal project in Saskatchewan should be easier to sell in Estevan and Calgary than Toronto鈥檚 Bay Street.

Despite slumps in global oil prices, predictions for southeast Saskatchewan remain relatively positive when it comes to the oil industry landscape.

Another piece of the carbon capture puzzle is coming together, as the team behind the Aquistore project prepares for the first round of carbon dioxide injection.

For a long time, Estevan鈥檚 prospects have been tied to the success of coal mining and the continuation of burning coal to produce power.

The opening of the project at BD3 doesn鈥檛 mark the end of the carbon capture story but the beginning of a much longer saga that will see the continued use of coal power for much longer than we otherwise would.
